What's The Use? The Court Takes A Stance On The Public Use Doctrine In Kelo V. City Of New London, Randy J. Bates Ii

City of New London, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of public takings for the purpose of private economic development under the Fifth Amendment's Public Use Clause. In holding that the takings were valid, the Court concluded that it must defer to the state legislature's judgment because the takings were beneficial to the public and were within the state's police power.
