There is no right of private property in the constitution. The 4th and 5 Th can be used, but specifically doesn't cover property rights. This is a social political principle that adults may not be prohibited or prevented from acquiring, holding, or trading valued goods. When this is not protected or respected there is something wrong.

Section three of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution addresses the issue of former Confederates holding public office. It also makes provision for the lifting of this sanction by a two thirds yes vote by both houses of congress. The wording is somewhat vague and would seem to leave room for the common ex- Confederate soldiers that had not previously taken an oath of loyalty to the US in federal or state government or the military, to hold a political office. It does not apply to high ranking officials such as Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and other men of high station in the Southern ranks. These individuals could only receive pardon or amnesty from the President of the United States. Although the wording is not completely clear; it at no point mentions the Confederacy; it is worded in such a manner that it is applicable to situations that may arise far beyond the 19th century. Below is an excellent link to find the Constitution and this amendment.
The fourteenth amendment is made up of five sections, with the third section stating:"No person shall be a Senator of Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."Therefore, the fourteenth amendment disqualifies anyone who has taken part in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding office.
