Forum Post 1:

In Nevada, prostitution is legal. But in the vast majority of the United States, prostitution is illegal. Consider this story of a prostitution case in Maine:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/zumba-prostitution-case-alexis-wright-pleads-guilty-to-20-counts-including-prostitution/, and discuss whether prostitution should or should not be legalized. Remember that when discussing something controversial, you should be certain that your sources are reliable and you should look for statistics to help you (for example, how much revenue is generated in Nevada by legal prostitution? What is the cost everywhere else of enforcing prostitution laws?).

Read & Consider the Following:

The power of eminent domain is granted to governmental bodies — federal, state and local — by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, under the simple phrase, “…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” In simple terms, the government can take privately owned land, as long as the land will be used by the public and the owner is paid a fair price for the land, what the amendment calls, “just compensation.”

Typically, governments exercised their power of eminent domain to acquire property for facilities clearly intended for use by the public, like schools, freeways or bridges. While such eminent domain actions are often viewed as distasteful, they are generally accepted because of their overall benefit to the public.

In the case of Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), the U.S. Supreme Court changed the interpretation of the government’s power of eminent domain by condoning the new trend among cities to use eminent domain to acquire land for the redevelopment or revitalization of depressed areas. In other words, the use of eminent domain for economic, rather than public purposes.
