This makes it clear that the American Constitution lays particular emphasis on this word “just” in qualifying the word “compensation”. Next, Sir, if we look at the Constitution of Danzig–I am referring to the Third Series of Constitutional Precedents, page 69, you will find:
“The right, may only be effected in accordance with the provisions of the law and for the benefit of the whole, community, and in return for due compensation, in case of dispute with regard to the amount of compensation recourse may be had to the law-courts.“
