Answer:

The Kelo case proved to be a revelation for many New Londoners about their property rights. Small business owners like me have to be especially careful to avoid falling under the radar of government development projects.

Until now, I was under the impression that eminent domain gave the government the right to take private property as long as it was for public use. My assumption included that public use defined anything that the public could literally use. Apparently, the court went with a broader interpretation of public use under which “a taking is constitutional if it serves a public purpose” (Kelo v. City of New London).

This interpretation means public use includes anything that is deemed as fit for public purpose, even though I or most citizens may not be able to directly use it. This raises the concern of what all could fall under public use. I trust that the government won’t go on seizing private properties for its unrestrained use. However, the Kelo case still proves to be a matter of concern for me.

Although the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution provides a certain safeguard, the wider interpretation of public use makes it easier for businesses like mine to lose ownership of their property to the government.

When the Framers were designing the federal government, they believed that the House of Representatives would be "the people’s"

Kay [80]

This question asks for an essay, which is a personal task that we cannot provide here. However, we can still develop some ideas that might help you in your work.

The House of Representatives can be considered both the people's branch and the insiders' branch. However, there is no question that the institution is now a lot more restrictive and less connected to the people than it was when the Framers designed it. Therefore, I would argue that it has become an insiders' branch.

First, legislators do not listen to constituents all the time. This is because each legislators has an enormous amount of constituents, all of which have very different characteristics. Moreover, legislators need to reconcile the interests of their constituents with those of other groups.

Second, the policymaking process makes it difficult for the public to monitor and evaluate the House. This is because common people do not have access to the necessary information to make this possible. Moreover, the process is long and complicated, and cannot be easily understood by all people.

Finally, partisan gerrymandering and polarization means that certain groups of constituents are much more important to a politician's career and support than others. This includes constituents in swing states, or constituents who support a particular party. Therefore, these constituents might see their interests represented more often than others.
