Property rights are also implicit in the 8th Commandment. It is interesting that they said pursuit of happiness rather than right to own property. They nearly did say that.

True, but to them liberty was synonymous with property.

While no one has a RIGHT to OWN, they DO have a right to EARN, and to keep what is lawfully acquired.
