Question

maryland’s government is expanding a major highway to reduce traffic problems. state officials say that some private property will be taken for the project, but landowners will be compensated. which principle allows the government to take the action described in the article?
○ judicial review
○ eminent domain
○ individual rights
○ majority rule

Explanation:

The scenario involves the government taking private property for public use (highway expansion) with compensation, which aligns with the principle of eminent domain. Judicial review is about court reviewing government actions, individual rights focus on personal liberties, and majority rule is about decisions by majority. So the correct principle is eminent domain.

Answer:

B. eminent domain (assuming the option order is: A. judicial review, B. eminent domain, C. individual rights, D. majority rule; adjust option identifier as per actual question's option numbering for the "eminent domain" option)
