Eminent Domain.(meaning
of 'eminent'; meaning of 'domain')
the unrestrained ownership
of land; independent of all action from without and paramount
over all action within (in
detail)
The individual states through
their own constitutions, possess the right of eminent domain as sovereignties,
within their borders and within the limits on their powers as defined by
delegates
from the 12 states who
drafted the U.S.
Constitution and subsequently presented it to the individual states
for ratification.
The United States federal
government possesses the right of Eminent Domain as a sovereign
state, made possible by the individual states granting land to form the
District
of Columbia.
Point is: the people of the
individual States had opportunity and were able to be involved in that
which was to affect them, and knew and collectively agreed on the limited
powers granted to a federal government of their creation. Such a thing
has not happened in Canada, as it has to other
former dominions of Britain, to the detriment
of regions outside of Ontario and Quebec.
