Week Six Written Assignment - GOVT 2302 / 2306

Just below I posted on the conflict between the Canadian Corporation building the Keystone XL Pipeline and the owners of the property they want to build on. This conflict illustrates the ongoing fight over the extent of imminent domain in the state. What can be acquired by the government and why? and what cannot?

I want you to research this specific conflict and speculate on what it tells us about the extent of property rights in the state.
