You can consider the preamble, where securing liberty is mentioned as one of the aims of the constitution. You can consider the bill of rights, which are chiefly concerned with securing liberty and putting checks against too much government power. There are also the federalist papers, which explain that the chief aim of the structuring of the federal government is for there to be balance of power and thus the security of liberty. All of these would be good starting points.
