History isn't actually quite sure why Constantine decided to convert the Roman religion to Christianity.
History can prove multiple guesses as to why, so I'll list a few of them:
Constantine converted for political purposes:
Frankly, this just confuses me. Constantine converted to Christianity indeed, but he would've had nothing to gain from this. Before he converted, Christians were hated, as well as Christianity. There was definitely more of a downside than an upside.
Constantine converted because he personally believed in Christianity.
This theory is logical. Constantine's father wasn't like him, meaning he made no attempts to support Christianity, so Constantine would've had to have been influenced by someone else. At that time, the silk road was blooming and thriving, and missionaries from all religions traveled to other nations/empires through the use of that trade route, including Christian Missionaries. It seems likely that Constantine was influenced by one of these missionaries at a young age, and became a believer in Christianity from then-on.
Later on, there was at least 1 priest in his private circle (most trusted friends/advisors).
The most likely reason is that Constantine was indeed a believer of Christianity, which is why he legalized it.

The correct answer D) Courts help determine a fair price when property is taken.
<em>Courts are often involved in cases concerning eminent domain because Courts help determine a fair price when property is taken.
</em>
Eminent Domain allows the government to take private property land for public benefits such as the construction of roads, damps, or bridges. The government had to pay for the land and it offers a price to the private owner. Some times the owner of the property does not agree with the amount of money the government is offering and he/she can ask the Court to settle the case. Then, the Court tries to settle the dispute finding the market price of the property and offering a fair price. That is why is true that Courts are often involved in cases concerning eminent domain because Courts help determine a fair price when property is taken.
