Land Expropriation without Compensation

Land expropriation without compensation is when the government takes private land for public use, such as infrastructure or community projects, without paying the landowner. This process is typically guided by legal laws that specify when and how it can happen, often to address broader social or economic needs. The intention is to balance individual property rights with the public good, especially if the land is needed for development or reform purposes. However, it can be controversial, raising questions about property rights, fairness, and the extent of government authority.
