Not sure what you mean by limits. The Declaration declared we all have unalienable rights that cannot be taken away by government.

But, it also states that governments "long established" should not be over thrown for simple causes but to work within the system to change what is wrong.

How are civil rights and civil liberties different?
My answer is that you can do anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone on a large scale. I say "on a large scale" because it is almost impossible to do anything without hurting someone else. When we drive to work we hurt people. First of all we pollute the air for people that have asthma. We also worsen the plight of ulcer patients that get nervous in traffic and thus produce more acid in their stomachs.
We also put pets in danger. Many cats and dogs, probably in the the tens of millions, are killed by cars. The question is, does the benefit outweigh the negative effects? Yes, because without the vehicle our life expectancies would go down, and I don't have the time to go into why this would happen (might have something to do with not being able to get food into the cities in time for the masses to eat it.)
Because marijuana is the big issue right now I will discuss this. Smoke, smoke, smoke....to your hearts content. The marijuana issue is one of the biggest debates right now because people have begun to think. And where does the rabbit hole of thinking lead us to? It leads to a very normal man or women sitting at home smoking a bowl, while the drunks are downtown picking fights at the bars and killing people in car wrecks on the way home. These same people are driving up health costs by their health problems that they will inevitibly incur. Meanwhile, the pot smoker sits at home, laughing and talking with friends, too relaxed to fight and too mellow to look for his car keys.
In all my years of life I have still not seen two pot smokers fighting and also very few auto accidents. And these are usually fender benders cause pot-smokers usually drive well under the speed limit, which is more than I can say for drinkers.
I know why the government doesn't want pot-smokers. Cause it makes you think. The spectrum of truth and lies is placed before your intelligence. You are able to make decisions based on love and fairnes. But we don't want that in America. It was tried before and the system began to unravel. Where marijuana is, organized religion breaks down, and the unfairness of governments is exposed, something the Indains know about.
We don't want that in the USA.

What document protects the unalienable rights?
The phrase "certain unalienable rights" is not in the U.S. Constitution at all, and so they are not guaranteed. The phrase appears in the Declaration of Independence, at the beginning of the second paragraph: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Since the Declaration of Independence did only what its title says, declare independence from Britain, and listed the reasons for it, it has no force at law.
