Is eminent domain fair? Why or why not?

Eminent domain is the power to take private property from a persons to be used for public use by the state or other authorized personal.  I do not agree with the terms of this policy.  According to the fifth amendment the government, or whoever takes this property, must provide a just compensation to the owner of the private property in the form some sort of payment.  I feel that the owner of the property should have the right to decline this.  If the government makes an offer on the property than it should be the owners choice whether or not they want to accept it.  In simpler words, property should not be forcibly taken from someone.  Only under these circumstances do I feel this would be fair.  In this situation the owner of the private property has the right to due process and can refute these actions if they deem necessary.  The qualities of eminent domain are unconstitutional and should not be supported.
