Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The Takings Clause in the U.S. Constitution allows the government to exercise eminent - domain and take private property as long as it provides just compensation (fair payment) for the property. Asking permission first is not the key condition for eminent - domain under the Takings Clause.
  2. In a market economy, basic economic decisions such as what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce are ultimately made by consumers through their purchasing decisions, not by the government which has a more limited role compared to in a command economy.

Answer:

  1. provides fair payment for the property
  2. consumers
