there is arguably an constitutional right to do what you will with your own property.

Actually, this isn't worded properly. By the definition of property, you have the right to do what you will with your own property. What the US Constitution does is shore up (but not create) the right of individuals to own property. (4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments limit the government's power to take property).
