In the Scott v. Sandford case, why was the argument of Sandford’s widow based on the Fifth Amendment?

The Fifth Amendment protects people from being deprived of property without due process of law. Sandford’s widow’s argument treated Dred Scott as her late husband’s property, so she claimed that Scott’s freedom would take property from her. The correct choice is that she believed Scott was her late husband’s property.
