Real Estate Law, Allodial vs Eminent Domain

Seth Kristian
Posted

I just wanted to throw a line out and see if anyone has knowledge of the incremental movement from allodial common law form of land ownership to the legal/eminent domain form of purchasing interest in real property. Ive been curious about this change for years and tends to elicit the scoff or the shrug, yet no answers. I dont care for the rabbit holes or nebulous and grandiose ideas. I’m interested in the law, and the provenance of any linguistic and morphological changes allowing for itself a more progressive interpretation and inevitable parallel form of contract law. Is this all fluff, or something worth looking at, particularly for the larger Social interest? Hopefully it piques some interest, and thanks for indulging my curiosity. Cheers
