Explanation / Answer

False

In common law jurisdictions, state governments traditionally enjoy police power, under which a government may regulate many aspects of the lives of its subjects.

But, under American law, this power does not extend to the outright divestiture of title to private property, nor to the de facto equivalent of it. Rather, the power of eminent domain is a separate and distinct power which allows a government to divest a property owner of utility of such property, but when it does so, it must pay just compensation. Few states, not the federal government, use the full compensation standard, not the just compensation standard
