Eminent domain is a government's right to expropriate private property. In 1646, Hugo Grotius (1583–1645) coined the term eminent domain as taking away by those in authority. In general, eminent domain is the procurement of an individual's property by a state for public purposes. An individual's right to own a home and the land beneath it is viewed as part of the liberty extended to all Americans by the Constitution of the United States. Varying degrees of land ownership is also a liberty afforded to individuals in many other nations around the world, too.

Within a corporate culture, eminent domain represents the ability for senior leaders to maneuver around previously accepted controls and protocols.
