It shows how the state, in this as in many areas, was forced to act by immediate pressures, often improvising rights over areas of life previously outside the power of government; by doing so it documents a key stage in the growth of centralised power in modern Britain.World War, 1914-1918Law and legislationGreat BritainWorld War, 1914-1918Confiscations and contributionsGreat BritainRequisitions, MilitaryGreat BritainHistoryEminent domainGreat BritainHistoryCompensation (Law)Great BritainHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Law and legislationWorld War, 1914-1918Confiscations and contributionsRequisitions, MilitaryHistory.Eminent domainHistory.Compensation (Law)History.343.41/0252344.103252Rubin Gerry R.1948-1477696MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786905903321Private property, government requisition and the Constitution, 1914-19273693036UNINA
