Which of the following is NOT a right of government in relation to property?

Ownership is not a right of government in relation to property because ownership typically refers to the rights held by individuals or private entities over their property. In contrast, eminent domain, taxation, and police power are all recognized governmental rights that involve regulations and actions taken by the government concerning private property.

Eminent domain allows the government to take private property for public use, provided that compensation is paid. Taxation gives the government the authority to levy taxes on property owners, which is a way for the government to generate revenue for public services. Police power enables the government to regulate behavior and enforce order for the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, including zoning laws and building codes.

Thus, while individuals can own property, the government does not assert ownership over private property in the same way; rather, it has the rights to regulate and control its use in various ways.
