I think in my post above we see the place that Property played in the State Constitutions and the founders saw the state arena as the place for Property, contract law, statute and common law and even capital crimes. The formation of the Federal Government was done with a very limited scope planned for that creature.
Federal protection and action would have been a lessening of State Government and its local responsiveness and control that would have been unthinkable.
We don't need to add protection but instead, we need to limit Federal involvement and "takings".
Bump.
