Where in the constitution is infringment addressed?

I'm writing an essay for my political science class and I really need this quote but can't find it. Where in the constitution does it talk about citizens infringing on the rights of other citizens?

    I believe, and I think our Founders back this up, that the Intent of what they presented was this:

    We all have the Right to do whatever we want, as long as, while exercising our rights we do not prevent others from exercising theirs.

    If we could all do that, rather than being focused on our own personal rights at the costs of others, we would be a much happier society as a whole.

    For example;

    We all have the Right to listen to music. What ever kind you like, what ever decibel level you like.

    UNTIL, that is, you are listening to it so loud in your car that people, in their house, sitting on their couch can't hear a television show at a normal level, or you wake up Grandpa with the thumping base, who is asleep in the back bedroom of the house.

    According to our Founders, the person with 4000 watts of thumping base is infringing on the other person's rights, and therefore are the ones that should adjust their behavior.

    That is not what is happening in this Country today.

    It seems that the rights of the person with dual 16" Subs, blasting down the Road waking up entire neighborhood up at 3am are the only ones that count today.

    We have to fix that as a Nation or we are doomed.
