Show the statement that supports your claim that property rights are explicitly granted by the Constitution.

This is the Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

You could just as easily ask me to show you the statement that supports my view that your right to be alive is explicitly granted...

If the government cannot deprive you of property without due process of law, nor take it except for public use and without just compensation, then by default private property is explicitly granted.

You are approaching all this from a post-Marxism perspective. That's your main error. ;^)

And of course this is the Fourth Amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

That is another explicit grant of private property rights.
