False. It's to protect citizens first and personal property second. Private property is invalid and a legal construction and assumes the personhood of corporations. It's this false equivalency that gives these orgs power over us. Our legal system should prioritize actual people. Anything else is morally bankrupt. A lot of people get mad because hearing the truth hurts.

Interesting claim considering that private property predates corporations by centuries.

I simply don't care. If private property was a natural right we wouldn't need it artificially supported by governments.
Like citizen rights?
No. Like intellectual property rights. I don't do gotchas. I have no obligation to be held to someone else's idea of consistency.
