Yes, the first is 'unreasonable search and seizure', the second is a 'bill of attainder', both things Congress is explicitly prohibited from enacting.
But the constitution doesn't establish a means for Congress to handle the creation of corporations: that's completely delegated to the states. While Congress can regulate their interstate actions (as if they were people), corporations don't really exist at a federal level. In early independent america they didn't exist at all.
