The rules enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights are mainly prohibitions of what individuals and more importantly, the government may NOT do. These include removing freedom of speech, to not introduce a national religion, no cruel and unususal punishments etc
The answer above is wrong. The Constitution applies only to governments, never to private parties (who are subject to statutes and regulations). The states created the Constitution to structure a central government to perform tasks inappropriate to states (like forming a navy or making treaties). There is a President because the states created the job. There is a Congress because the states created one and listed its powers.
The states wrote that the Constitution is the supreme US law, and any act of Congress, the President, or a state legislature or court conflicting with the language of the Constitution is void.

What law established New Hampshire?
New Hampshire was one of a small number of colonies (I think Massachusetts was the only other one) that had its own constitution prior to the establishment of the US Constitution. But it was New Hampshire's ratification and signing of the US Constitution in June of 1788 that established the US as a nation, and the Constitution as the law of the US. This is because New Hampshire was the 9th of the 9 required ratifying states to accept the Constitution. So it was really at that time that New Hampshire was established as a state in the union.
