Why was constitution it made so secretive about?

They were really, really, really worried that outside influences would taint the Constitutional Convention and its proceedings. They also worried that word would get about about what they were doing - not just revising the Articles of Confederation but totally rewriting them - and hoopla would ensue. In addition they didn't want false rumors to spread and start to discredit the Constitution before it was even finished. This is why the writers of the Federalist Papers used a pseudonym - so they wouldn't break this vow of secrecy but could still discuss the Constitution, since they were sworn to secrecy for the next 20 some years when it came to the Convention.
