Non-existent? The US Supreme Court wasn't established until the First Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789. They met for the first time in New York City on February 2, 1790.

What was the original purpose of the convention of 1787?

The original purpose of the 1787 Philadelphia Convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation, the first document outlining the operation of the United States national government. The Articles of Confederation lacked provisions for a federal court system, fair representation of the states in Congress, and a President. Many of the 55 delegates at the Convention finally concluded there was no way to patch the old system, so they secretly rewrote the plan for government in the US Constitution. The Philadelphia Convention later became known as the Constitutional Convention.

Did the first government of the US have a President and Supreme Court?

No. The first US government, organized under the Articles of Confederation, lacked both Executive (President) and Judicial (Court) Branches. These were considered two of the weaknesses the Second Continental Congress authorized delegates to the Philadelphia Convention (now called the Constitutional Convention) to fix. They "fixed" the problem by creating the Constitution, the foundation of the second official United States government.
