None of them are listed as "the people may do thus and such without restriction".

Correct. Most of them are restrictions on the power to restrict (or, more generally speaking, use force against) citizens. Those that fit that description are candidates for incorporation by the 14th. Those that don't plausibly fit it, remain as applying only to the federal government.

E.g., the Establishment Clause. You have just as much right to be free from the coercive effects of a state religion as you do a federal one ;)
