This is not the US concept of property. The United States views rights (including life, liberty, and property) as being natural, i.e. they exist in the absence of governments, and that government can only infringe on those rights to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the tasks set out for it in the Constitution. Things have drifted quite a bit over time but that’s the foundational notion behind the US Constitution. It’s really a remarkable document in that conceptually it makes the government subject to the citizens, not the citizens subjects of the government. If you read it carefully it says quite clearly “the government is allowed to do these X things, and nothing else, and by the way it is expressly forbidden from doing these other things that we didn’t give it authority to do but we know that they’ll try to do anyway so just no”.
