Which phrase in the US Constitution addresses the power to seize property?

Judicial review
Eminent domain
Checks and balances
Federalism

The correct answer is: Eminent domain

The phrase in the US Constitution that addresses the power to seize property is known as eminent domain. This term refers to the government's power to take private property for public use, as long as just compensation is provided to the owner. It is not to be confused with judicial review, which is the power of the courts to declare a law or action unconstitutional. Checks and balances and federalism are also important principles outlined in the Constitution, but they do not specifically address the power to seize property.
