It got changed when the powerful realized property was finite, and they didn't want just anyone owning it.

protip for fatty: "property" in the political philosophical sense does not and has never specifically meant land ownership. Property = things you own, including land. Many of the political philosophers that influenced the founders believed in the idea that a pursuit of happiness IS the pursuit of property. Continue with your hipster ramblings.
