Why didn't the Constitution provide liberty for American citizens?

The framers of the US Constitution believed that the rights of individuals were not granted by governments, but by natural (God-given) law. These rights were considered "inalienable" : unable to be removed, modified, or restricted. After completion of the Constitution, however, many were concerned that the new government might usurp or take away rights from its citizens. So the first 10 amendments to the Constitution were added as the "Bill of Rights" to enumerate the most important rights, so that they could not be refused to the public.
