Constraints on the federal government. They can't prohibit speech or religion, ownership of firearms, quarter troops in private homes, issue warrants to search/seize people/things without probable cause, or force people to testify against themselves. A couple of other things, but the only constraints in the Bill of Rights are against the federal government.

Constraints on the states are found in the Fourteenth Amendment.

Constraints on people are only found in the Constitution by people that have overactive imaginations.

That's a contradictory statement. The Bill of Rights is, well, rights. Not constraints.
