No. When the members of the Constitutional Convention discussed American citizens voting, they deliberately left the question of voting eligibility to the states. They did not decide on men or women, black or white. That was a question for the states. One criticism of the constitution was that it did not prevent a woman from becoming president.

What is the National Constitutional Convention?
A constitutional convention is now a gathering for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. A general constitutional convention is called to create the first constitution of a political unit or to entirely replace an existing constitution. An unlimited constitutional convention is called to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper, whereas a limited constitutional convention is restricted to revising only the areas of the current constitution named in the convention's call, the legal mandate establishing the convention. Examples of constitutional conventions include:United States: Annapolis Convention (1786), which proposed what became the Philadelphia Convention (1787) -- Drafted the United States Constitution for ratification by the states. Article V of the constitution sets forth a mechanism whereby future constitutional conventions can be held. The constitution has been amended several times since the Philadelphia Convention, but never (as of 2011) by this method.France: The National Convention of 1792 (commonly referred to as The Convention) convened during The French Revolution on September 20 with the purpose of writing a Republican Constitution following the suspension of the French Monarchy.
