To take power away from the government and put it in the hands of the people who elect the leaders rather than the leaders themselves. Free speech/assembly, the ability to talk back and directly to government officials and to hold them accountable for their decisions. Free religious choice takes away the government's ability to make religion another arm of their power, allowing religions to essentially be autonomous social entities that are not beholden to the state.
I'll let you cite your own examples.

I can't exactly take the time to do your homework for you. The question you ask would take a long time to type up. Here are some links for you to work with. It is an interesting discussion.

ts_flanders was close but the Constitution assumes government never had the power because the people never gave it the government.
