Property Issues
Among the principles of Americas founding was the belief that private property was both a constituent of happiness and the best means of securing individual liberty, economic progress and political independence. NCPA Scholars support these views and thus believe that government land holdings should be limited to those specified in the Constitution and critical to carry out the necessary functions of government. Where government must take or limit through law or regulation the otherwise non-harmful uses of private property it ought to pay just compensation.
