Which documents established the principles of surveying property and ownership, thereby allowing for the admission of new states into the Union?

Individual liberty refers to the freedoms and rights guaranteed to individuals that allow them to act according to their own will. While the homeowner's individual liberties may be impacted by the taking of their property, the specific legal principle that addresses the process by which the government can take property is due process, not merely the concept of individual liberty.

Natural rights are those rights that individuals are said to possess inherently, often associated with life, liberty, and property. Although the homeowner's right to their property can be viewed through the lens of natural rights, the legal recourse available in this situation is primarily grounded in the due process clause rather than the broader philosophical concept of natural rights.

Majority rule is a principle that suggests decisions are made based on the preferences of the majority. In the context of property redevelopment, while the local government's action may reflect the will of the majority, it does not negate the requirement for due process when taking an individual's property. Thus, majority rule does not provide a basis for a lawsuit in this case.
