The 5th Amendment does however imply that private property can be
taken for public use provided that just compensation is exchanged for
it. Other than that it forbids the infringement of natural rights
excepting for the government being able to priscibe by law the manner
in which soldiers can be quartered in one's home during a time of war.

The Articles of Confederation was the governing document of the 13
states prior to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Bill of
Rights does not list government authority or function. The
Constitution states what the authority and function of the federal
government is. i.e. Article I sec.8 of the Constitution states what
the authority of Congress is. The Bill of Rights states restrictions
on the authority of the federal government (and states governments
since 1868) in the sense that it forbids the government from
infringing on one's natural rights.
