Oversimplified:
1st - We can say whatever the fuck we want. We can religion. We don't have to fight for our right to party.
2nd - We can have guns.
3rd - We don't gotta share our beds with soldiers.
4th - We don't gotta open the door for the cops.
5th - We don't gotta say shit to the cops.
6th - We can have lawyers.
7th - We can have jury trials.
8th - When we fuck up, the punishment for me is the same as it would be for you.
9th - If there isn't an explicit law against it, then we can do it.
10th - If it's not explicitly made a federal issue in the constitution, then it's a state issue.
Reading these... it's hard not to be very proud of how much they got right back in 1791. And pissed off at how much they aren't getting right today.
