Lola Oliver · Answer 1

Eminent domain is the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation.

Barbara Molina · Answer 2

It's where you can be paid if your private property is used for public use.

For example a college student is being paid for their dorm to be viewed for people who might be going to that college and living in a dorm.
