I'd start by amending the Bill of Rights to include set responsibilities with each right. I'd put some stronger controls on the branches of government to limit their ability to exceed their intended role.
A set of responsibilities in this day and age? That is antithetical to the bill of rights. A bill of obligations sounds like an excellent way to get us to slavery to the government.
We constantly enact new things the government can do. The whole premise behind the bill of rights is there are certain things the government cannot do.
