Small correction: the constitution doesn't give you those rights. You don't have rights because someone gave them to you. You don't have rights because someone wrote it on a piece of paper and called it the constitution. If you consider rights to be something that can be given to you, it also means it can be taken away from you.
Rights cannot be taken away from you. You are born with your rights and you'll die with your rights. People cannot take your rights away from you. They can violate your rights, but they cannot take them away. If they violate your rights, they're committing an act of aggression, they are committing an act of injustice and you have the right to defend yourself.
