Answer 1

The text asserts that the supreme power cannot take property without consent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text asserts that the supreme power cannot take property without consent. According to the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the government is prohibited from taking private property for public use without just compensation. This means that individuals have the right to their property and the government requires their consent and must provide fair compensation if they need to acquire it for public use.
