i guess you are right, maybe we should use the term "real estate". though that can mean different things too.
but i do have to disagree with you that the constitution only applies to government. it is a agreement that when we are citizens that we all adhere to. that is what is meant by the 10th. if it is not spelled out by the Constitution then it falls to the states. there is some description in this. the states used to have their own religions. but also there has been people charged with the violation of another's constitutional rights
I used to think the same until I started studying it more. I have learned that interpretation just isn't true, the constitution is simply a document of cans and cannots for the federal government a law for the federal government. We the people owe no obligation or even allegiance to them, this is strongly suggested in the principles of '98 or even in the ratification agreement of Virginia, New York and Rhode Island..where they said they retain the power to leave the union.
The original idea is united States of America, yes small u in united, The states formed the confederacy and the union for the federal government to take care of certain matters, mostly as Jefferson stated everything "foreign", the states were sovereigns with in themselves and it was up to the people and states to decide what ever wasn't granted as a power or authority to the federal government, this was the purpose of the 9th and 10th.
Real Estate isn't a term I'd use, the basis for natural law which is our founding is that each person is property within themselves and it goes from there, my house is an extension of my person, I worked for it, I built it, I properly bought it, same would go for my business, even one I choose to open to the public, I have the natural right to not have you in my business for what ever reason as much as I have the natural right not to let you invade my body or my person.,
