Not in the Constitution, but in the Declaration of Independence. Its a Lockean idea that Thomas Jefferson agreed with. The DOI is not a document that has any legal implications, other than our dissolving ties with England. Its not the basis for our laws.

Actually, there is such a clause in the Declaration of Independence. It states:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. >>>>That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. "<<< [emphasis mine]
There ya go.

If you look at the second amendment - sort of...
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, ***being necessary to the security of a free state***, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
It is a stretch.
