How does the Bill of Rights reflect the idea of limited government?

Take a look at the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What examples of limiting government can you find in here? What can the government NOT do?
