The main body of the Constitution is made up of seven articles. The Articles explain how the government works. They also carefully describe the rules for electing government officials, like Senators and the President. Only one right is mentioned: It says that anyone accused of committing a federal crime has the right to a trial by jury.
One Enlightenment idea that is included in the constitution is basic liberties such as voting rights and Bill of Rights. Another one is the separation of powers such as the Montesquieu.
To protect our individual liberties/rights!! That was the only way antifederalists would approve of the Constitution! Hope I helped! :)
Civil liberties were added, in the form of the Bill of Rights.

They were added after the constitution was adopted to protect our rights
Before the Constitution, rights were primarily guaranteed by state constitutions and colonial charters, which often included freedoms such as the right to free speech, assembly, and religion. The Declaration of Independence also emphasized the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, these rights were not uniformly protected across all states or universally applied, leading to the eventual call for a stronger federal framework to safeguard individual liberties, culminating in the Bill of Rights.
