Personal and Private Property Security
I affirm the Fourth Amendment right of citizens to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Civil governments must be strictly limited in their powers to intrude upon the persons and private property of individual citizens.
No warrants shall be issued, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution limits the federal power of eminent domain solely to the purchase of private property with just compensation for public use, not public ownership. Under no circumstances may the federal government take private property, by means of rules and regulations which preclude or substantially reduce the productive use of the property, even with just compensation.
