A survey of the evolution of property rights in the United
States-from constitutional protections and due process to private
property rights and government-takings doctrines. Legal opinions
and public attitudes toward property rights have fluctuated over
the years, from periods when almost any infringement of these
rights was impermissible, to times in which the government was
granted much wider latitude. This book examines the history of
individual property ownership in the U.S. from the late colonial
era to the present, explaining how property rights were
established, defended, and sometimes later reinterpreted. Of
special interest are rights that have developed over time, such as
due process, just compensation for government "takings" of private
property, and the rights landowners may assert against other
persons. Of particular interest to today's readers are government
regulation of private property for environmental purposes,
challenges to zoning regulations, and intellectual property rights
in cyberspace. Alphabetical list of key people, cases, events,
judicial decisions, statutes, and terms that are central to an
understanding of property rights in the United States Reprints of
key materials including constitutional provisions, excerpts from
court rulings, and statutes
