Articles I, II, and III in the Constitution specifically state the powers that the government can exercise. The Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10) state all the rights that citizens have that the Government can not take away. And the 10th Amendment states, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This means that unless the power is given to the Government in the Constitution, then the power is held in the hands of the State or the people. Thus limiting the power of Government. Hope this is what you were looking for.

What amendmeants deny power to the national government?

Amendments 1-8, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 27 all directly limit the power of the national government (though 11 affects only the Judiciary, not Congress or the Executive).Also, 15, 19, 24, and 26 limit the power of any government (national or state) to restrict voting rights. However, this is (practically speaking) mostly a limitation on the power of the states, as the national government doesn't regulate voter qualifications as a matter of course.Lastly, the Twenty-First Amendment technically limits national power, but only by taking away the power that the Eighteenth Amendment granted (the power to enact Prohibition of alcohol).
