The US Constitution does not explicitly include the right to rebellion or revolution. It does, however, include the right to peaceful assembly and the right to petition the government. Both of these, as well as the freedoms of speech and the press, were used by revolutionary and rebellious leaders, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Susan B. Anthony.

OK so here's how it really happened. Shays Rebellion- All of the farmers rebelled because the government was not helping them financially. They burned down government buildings. Congress had no right to stop them and had no control over them according to the Articles of Confederation, so they just watched the in terror. THIS BROUGHT EVERYONE TO REALIZE THAT THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION WAS TOO WEAK. The convention was called to fix it but we realized that it had too many flaws and just created a new constitution. Hoped that helped :)
There is no punishment to challenging the US Constitution. In the Bill of RIghts we are given the right to free speech and the right to publish what we see fit. Therefore, you will receive no punishment for challenging the Constitution.
