What does the 14th Amendment say about private property?

Which amendment has rights of accused and due process?
The Sixth Amendment
The Sixth Amendment (Amendment VI) to the U.S. Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights, which sets forth rights related to criminal prosecutions. The Supreme Court has applied the protections of this amendment to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Why is due process in the 5th and 14th Amendment?
The Court has also deemed the due process guarantees of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to protect certain substantive rights that are not listed (or “enumerated”) in the Constitution.
Does the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment apply to States?
The Court has also found that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment imposes on the federal government restrictions that are almost identical to those imposed on the States by the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Does the Due Process Clause Say More Than What Goes Without Saying?
What are the rights protected under the Fourteenth Amendment?
As the examples above suggest, the rights protected under the Fourteenth Amendment can be understood in three categories: (1) “procedural due process;” (2) the individual rights listed in the Bill of Rights, “incorporated” against the states; and (3) “substantive due process.”
What does the 14th Amendment say about due process?
While the Fifth Amendment only applies to the federal government, the identical text in the Fourteenth Amendment explicitly applies this due process requirement to the states as well. Courts have come to recognize that two aspects of due process exist: procedural due process and substantive due process.
What does the constitution say about due process of law?
The Due Process Clause guarantees “due process of law” before the government may deprive someone of “life, liberty, or property.” In other words, the Clause does not prohibit the government from depriving someone of “substantive” rights such as life, liberty, or property; it simply requires that the government follow the law.
