Final answer:

D) Depends on jurisdiction

The automatic reversion of property title depends on the jurisdiction, as property laws vary. Additionally, the necessary and proper clause generally expands Congressional power, Dillon's Rule restricts local government freedom, and proprietary colony proprietors have responsibilities beyond profit collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

When considering if title to property automatically reverts to the original owner upon a violation of a condition of ownership, the answer is D) Depends on jurisdiction.

Property laws can vary significantly by jurisdiction, and while some places may have a legal provision for automatic reversion of property, in others, legal action may be required to enforce such conditions.

Addressing the exercises:

  • The necessary and proper clause has not limited the power of the national government; instead, it has often been interpreted to grant Congress broad authority to implement its powers. (False)
  • Dillon's Rule means that local governments have only those powers expressly granted to them or those powers that are necessarily implied by the state; thus, it often limits, rather than provides freedom and flexibility to local governments. (False)
  • In a proprietary colony, the Proprietors had responsibilities beyond just collecting profits, including governing and managing the colony. (False)
  • According to the principles of justice in acquisition and transfer, a person is entitled to a holding if they acquired it justly, either by initially acquiring it or by a just transfer from someone already entitled to it.
