Answer to Question 1

a. Alice is having her land taken by eminent domain. The state can do so under the Fifth Amendment for a public purpose and a freeway off ramp is very clearly a public purpose.
b. Alice still has due process rights under the Fifth Amendment - the right to present her side on the land's value.

c. Alice has her constitutional protections. Also, there are state laws and regulations that will govern the process of eminent domain.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
