Question 4.
In Kelo v. New London, Kelo wants the US government to force New London to let
Kelo keep her own house. Which of the following
statements best explains why
one side promotes constitutionally limited government
or that this concept does
not apply to this case?
This concept does not apply to this case, because the 5th amendment does
not put limits on the federal government.
Kelo promotes this concept because this would keep the federal government
within the limits of the 14th amendment, which only gives the federal
government power over unequal protection of person and property.
New London promotes this concept because the 5th Amendment prohibits
states from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.
Both sides promote this concept, because New London argues that
Connecticut has a right to choose its own housing policies, but Kelo argues
that this is not fair to homeowners.
