I think Thomas Jefferson said it best, "A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as a gift of their chief magistrate." --Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America,1774. ME 1:209, Papers 1:134
The question is not "Where in the Constitution does an individual have a right to such and such?". The more correct question is, "Where in the Constitution is the Federal Government granted the power to infringe on said rights?".
