Answer 1

The Fifth Amendment protects the government's action of taking property for public use.

Step-by-step explanation:

The action protected by the Fifth Amendment is taking property if it would be good for public use.

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides protection against the government taking private property for public use without just compensation. This is known as the Takings Clause. For example, if the government needs to build a road and your property is in the way, they can take your property but must provide fair compensation for it.
