Eminent Domain and Just Compensation
The government seized David's property, provided him with fair compensation, and used the land to establish a military base. Was this a legal taking of private property?

B
No, because the government may only seize property intended for private use.
C
No, because the government may take property for any purpose except military operations.
D
Yes, because the government provided fair compensation and used the property for a legitimate public purpose.
