For the most part the delegates to the American constitutional convention were well educated aristocrats of the time. Another common feature they shared was the distinct dislike of monarchies. Despite their own individual wealth and high social status, they believed in the right of male citizens to vote and have a say in the new government of the former 13 British colonies.
They also, to one degree or another, believed that each State, had certain rights and they did not want a powerful, overbearing central government.

Intermediate scrutiny is the most common test used by the courts when deciding if a law or policy is constitutional. The Supreme Court will define and determine if the laws are constitutional and act as judicial review.
James Madison
Washington served as president of the constitutional convention and became the first president in 1789. He knew as the first president that what he did would be copied by others, so he made careful decisions that would shape the new country. One of the things he warned about was the power of political parties. He felt that the party would become more important than the common good of the country. If you think about it that is just is what happened in modern America. Washington is worth reading on his views of government.

Yeah I got nothing. If this refers to the election compromise at the Constitutional Convention, it is the decision that led to the electoral college. Many did not trust the electorate to choose the President because they believed the majority of "common people" were ill-informed and subject to "mob mentality". So instead of direct election, they decided on indirect election through electors.
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.
