The list of rights protected in the Constitution were those rights that the Founders believed would be most likely for a tyrannical government to infringe upon.
There were also rights that were not protected because they come in direct conflict with other rights. For example, the Right of Reputation and the Right to Free Speech come into conflict since negative speech could harm reputation; but the Founders believed that Free Speech was more important that the Right of Reputation.
There were also rights that the Founders did not believe should be given, but that later generations thought were worth protecting, such as the Right to be a Free Man.
