Eminent Domain

After reading through the links below…Your ESSAY: Try to answer the questions in the form of an analytic essay using Kelo v. NL as a base for your analysis (start with 2-3 background paragraphs about the Kelo case, then answer the questions below). THE LINKS BELOW MUST BE USED….DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LINKS, AUTHORS, OR SOURCES!!!

i. Why do some critics argue that such concerns in our time are seriously misplaced?
ii. Does the argument that redevelopment using eminent domain continues to be an invaluable tool for maintaining the economic competitiveness and livability of urban areas where property ownership is fragmented and where minorities live in large numbers hold up?
iii. Have the discriminatory elements of older urban renewal reflecting the racism generally prevalent in political life in the 1940’s and 50’s, been largely eliminated by the growth of political and economic power by African Americans and other minorities? Why or why not?
iv. Analyze the term “blight” and its origins and applications to urban renewal. Use analysis of Kelo case and summarize it briefly to support your analysis.
