@cochja, I wonder if you are thinking of the Declaration of Independence, which was the document by which the original thirteen colonies in 1776 asserted their right to break free of Great Britain. It contains this language:
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of 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.
It goes on to list all the abuses committed by the King of England as justification for this separation.
There is nothing in either the Constitution (1787) or the Declaration (1776) explicitly about secession (not succession), meaning the right to secede (withdraw) from the Union. That was the issue of the Civil War; the southern states attempting to secede were defeated and kept within the Union.
