Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

[Sam Staley] on the increasing destruction of Property Rights at the hands of Eminent Domain. (Urban Design) *Anticipating requests like Gateway’s, [SWIDA] had adopted a "Quick-Take" program. All applicants had to do was fill out a form, pay a fee, add a commission to [SWIDA] based on the value of the property, and voilà, the redevelopment agency would condemn someone else’s land and hand it over... Property Rights do not get the same level of protection as other fundamental liberties, such as free speech, the right to assemble, or the right to an impartial jury.*
