Final answer:
Grant deeds include implied covenants ensuring good title and the right to convey without undisclosed restrictions. Restrictive covenants, created by parties such as land developers, limit property use and historically enforced segregation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Grant deeds contain implied covenants which are legal promises made by the grantor to the grantee. These covenants warrant that the grantor holds good title to the property and has the right to convey it, ensuring that no restrictive covenants or easements exist unless disclosed in the deed. Furthermore, grant deeds imply that the property is not encumbered with undisclosed liens or claims.
It's important to distinguish these from non-government restrictions like restrictive covenants and easements, which are created by land developers and other parties rather than by government entities. While government entities can enforce land use restrictions through the Takings Clause and eminent domain, private restrictions such as restrictive covenants can control property use and even exclude particular groups, as they historically did in racially segregating communities.
