There were (and continue to be) multiple practical effects of the writing of the Constitution. The most important of these practical effects was that the Constitution allowed the new country...
Being able to express yourself without worrying about being punished for it. Nothing is more important to a person.
In the United States, the US Constitution recognizes the basic human rights granted to its people by God. The Constitution does not "give" its people rights. The US Constitution documents a number of things, such as the way the Federal government operates. Under the US Constitution, the rights already alluded to are written in the part of the Constitution called the Bill of Rights. These rights the Constitution guarantees include important issues such as free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to practice one's religion. The Federal Constitution lays out the ways Federal officials are elected and appointed. When it was ratified in 1793, it was the most progressive document defining a democratic nation that had ever existed.
The most important message in "My Bondage and Freedom" by Frederick Douglass is that slavery is not to be repeated. A reason for this would be human suffering.
The Preamble to the Constitution stated in succinct terms why the Constitution was written. It is an inspiring beginning to our most important document.
Freedom of speech/religion
that is totally an opinion question, but some of the most recognised rights are the freedom of speech, freedom of press, and the pursuit of happiness.
It should first be noted that the words "human rights" are not in the constitution itself. But the rights Americans have certainly are elaborated in a number of the amendments. Most important is the First Amendment to the constitution, written by James Madison, who became the fourth president of the United States. This amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, etc. Voting rights were granted to black males in the fifteenth amendment, and to women in the nineteenth amendment.

FREEDOM (people do take for granted what we have now and don't realize how far we've come to get where we're at today)
Control over every aspect of government, its officials, and its creation - continuation - or destruction.
impeachment There is not a lot of need for checks on the President since the President has no power not specifically granted to him by the U.S. Constitution. But when a President starts asserting power not granted to him, he must be impeached.
The most important is freedom of speech.
A person who writes to the President to stop the war in Iraq is exercising his freedom of speech. Core political freedom of speech is the most important of the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
The Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1974 was the most important amendments in the constitution of 1973.
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude in the United States. This amendment granted freedom to slaves and laid the foundation for the end of one of the most oppressive institutions in American history.
