We Defend Property Owners from Unconstitutional
Government Overreach & Intimidation

“[N]or shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

 

Takings Clause, Fifth Amendment, U.S. Constitution

 

Our Founders understood that property ownership was critical to economic prosperity and liberty. Through property ownership, Americans gain wealth and financial security. Protecting property rights was so important that our Founders enshrined it in the Constitution. Unfortunately, through unjust laws and regulations, the government at all levels threatens the rights of property owners across the country. The Buckeye Institute defends these rights from unconstitutional laws and regulations that seek to deprive Americans of their property without just compensation.
