The reason we put some things in a Constitution is that we think those things are so important that they aren't subject to the whims of the electorate -- they aren't up to a vote. You don't get to have a vote about which religion will be the state religion. You don't get to vote away my right to Free Speech. And you shouldn't get to vote to limit my Constitutionally-defined private property rights.

Of course human beings want to restrict what other people do on their own land. History is full of groups of people just, you know, taking land whenever they think it suits their purposes. That's why the right to private property is in the Constitution. It's why Euclid was wrongly decided. And it's why you don't get to appeal to "democracy" in an attempt to abridge a fundamental right.
