In general, the "blessings of Liberty" referred to in the Constitution of the United States of America (I'm assuming this is what you meant?) is a general phrase that implies all the benefits (blessings) of freedom (liberty) that they had no room, nor felt the need to, list. Because, unlike the rest of the constitution, the Preamble (from "We the people" to "this constitution of the United states of America.") has no legal clout (in other words, it means nothing legally) and is more of an introduction than actual rules, it is perfectly fine for it to be vague, and so the "blessings of liberty" are just an ideal. Jacobson V. Massachusetts established that in legally binding Supreme court decision.

If you recall, the Preamble states:

"We the people, of the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, ensure the general welfare, and ensure the blessing of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America."
