I'm not a Constitutional scholar, but it looks to me like the Articles of the Constitution basically establish the government itself. Then, the first 10 Amendments, aka The Bill of Rights, set some limits on the government & spell out some rights of the people and certain limits upon the government. After that are 17 more amendments, few of which actually have anything at all to do with individuals.
