Why a written constitution?
Do you mean, "Why did they create the Constitution?" or, "Why was the Constitution written down?" For "Why did they create the Constitution?", because the Founding Fathers realized that the Articles of Confederation were not stable enough. The United States needed a stronger federal government. For "Why was the Constitution written down?", so that if any changes were necessary, it would be easy, and also so that we wouldn't have to memorize the Constitution. If it had been strictly memory, the Constitution would have died with Jefferson and all those at the Constitutional Convention.

How did the writing of the Constitution help the people of America?
While the Constitution of the United States of America acknowledges that all people are endowed with certain inalienable rights, the document itself serves to establish a government for the United States of America, which is only a portion of America and represents only a percentage of the people in America. Given that America includes North America which is comprised of three different countries, all of which have their own constitutions, and then there is South America which is comprised of several more countries that also have their own constitution and in between North and South America there is Central America which is also comprised of several different countries all of which have their own constitutions. If the constitution has helped any person in "America", it has helped those individuals who have used that legal document as a point of law when helping themselves to live free and be happy.
