Federal laws probably not. State laws sure. The idea in the constitution is the feds are only supposed to exercise powers which they have been granted, while the states can do just about anything that isn't prohibited. That generally would give less restrictions to the states, but the feds are granted a lot, and also courts have allowed to the feds to get away with more and more that stretches the feds' constitutionally granted power to a rather dubious extent.

Yes - pursuit of happiness includes property rights. In fact, that's what was the original text (life, liberty and property rights) till it was changed in one of the drafts.
