Answer to Question 1

The term person encompasses the individual as a whole, both internally and externally.
An arrest, for example, is a seizure of a person.
House is a term that is broadly construed to mean any structure that a person uses as a residence (and frequently a business) on either a temporary or long-term basis. A hotel room or its equivalent is considered a house, as it is a temporary residence that enjoys Fourth Amendment protection.
Papers and effects include nearly all personal items. Business records, letters, diaries, memos, and countless other forms of tangible evidence can be defined as papers.
Effects is the catch-all category. Anything that is not a person, house, or paper is probably an effect.Effects can include cars, luggage, clothing, weapons, contraband, and the fruits of criminal activity.
