[quote=@Chapatrap] I don't think the right to private property is a thing on any constitution. I assume it's law that my property is my property and you can't take it off me but a constitution is more or less a list of shit that the government cannot infringe upon in any circumstances. Our constitution is all about keeping the British out and reminding us to go to church. I don't think private property is a fundamental right in Ireland. [/quote] You're thinking of the Bill of Rights. A constitution is usually about how the government itself is to be organized and what its jurisdictions will be. Most of the US constitution is deciding what the president does, what the legislature does, and what the supreme court does. Even at its conception, the proposal to add a bill of rights was controversial. with the Federalists arguing that having the rights of the citizens listed implies that the listed rights are the only rights a citizen has, hence why the ninth amendment was tacked on. Regarding Right to Property, Chapa is correct in saying that it isn't necessarily a fundamental right. If it were, imminent domain would not be possible. Other constitutions might, but I don't know much about it. You'd have to research how other communist states have struck down private property.
