The Sedition Act, passed by the First Congress (consisting of many members of the Constitutional Convention), for starters, which was a huge restriction on free speech.

The multiple attempts by former CC members to pass anti-slavery legislation in Congress in the many decades leading up to the Civil War.

There are a number of other examples, well covered by a number of primary and secondary sources.
