"No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." — Article Five - Bill of Rights

"...nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" — Fourteenth Amendment


This country was not founded upon the principles of Communism, nor a feudal society. It was founded upon the principles of life, liberty, and private property. Of course there are limits to what one can do, so that all can enjoy their lives: ergo: noise limits; speed limits; theatre occupancy limits; building limits; and etc. But this does not mean that the State owns everything.
