He elaborated: The generations that wrote and ratified the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment did not presume to know the extent of freedom in all of its dimensions, and so they entrusted to future generations a charter protecting the freedom of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning. Put differently, Justice Kennedy observed that the refusal of the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment to specify which liberties were protected meant that they intended to leave the meaning of that concept to the judgment of subsequent generations.

In 1997, the Court suggested an alternative methodology that was more restrictive: such rights would need to be carefully descri[bed] and, under that description, deeply rooted in the Nations history and traditions and implicit in the concept of ordered liberty. Washington v. Glucksberg (1997). The ethos behind the Ninth Amendment also seems sound. The Takings Clause refers to the last clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. constitution that limits the power of eminent domain. This is also an example of an Amendment specifically modifying an earlier Amendment, such as how Section 5 of the 14th Amendment impacts the 10th and 11th Amendments. Finally, as a purely doctrinal matter, over a century of precedent guarantees such unenumerated rights under the Fourteenth Amendments Due Process Clause. the Takings Clause was well described by the Court more than forty Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council, All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

And if the right had to be specifically described in order to be protected, then the right to marry is too general to protect the right to same-sex marriage. So how did Obergefell reach its result? First, it put an end to the idea that the due process methodology was backward looking. While the Court has recognized the power of eminent domain to be inherent to federal and state government, federal and state governments may exercise such power only through legislation or legislative delegation. explicitly protected "the means of acquiring and possessing The answer was, as Chief Justice Roberts noted in dissent, that Obergefell effectively overrule[d] Glucksberg.

The takings clause includes (or, more correctly, has been interpreted to include) two elements, which are: Any taking by a government must be for a public use to be valid; and Any government that does take property, even for a public use, must fully compensate the owner of the property for the taking. Justice Kennedy observed that while the careful description methodology may have been appropriate for the right at issue in Glucksberg (physician-assisted suicide), it is inconsistent with the approach this Court has used in discussing other fundamental rights, including marriage and intimacy. He noted that when interracial couples or prisoners sought to marry, the Court did not construe the right as the right of interracial couples to marry or the right of prisoners to marry, but simply as the right to marry. in keeping most takings cases out of court. The Court has also applied the Takings Clause to New London, 2005 WL 1469529, 2005 U.S. LEXIS 5011, The drafter of this clause, James Madison, opined: Ry., 160 U.S. 668, 679 (1896), California v.
