When the US was forming, communism did not exist. The idea didn't come around till the 19th century under Karl Marx. The reason the US did not convert is argued but most people agree it is because of the failure of communism in Russia.

Capitalism developed in the US under specific historical, economic and political circumstances, even if the founding fathers had brought this question up, socialism would not have worked because the essential prerequisites for establishing it where not even there.
