George Washington was the president of the Constitutional Convention. James Madison did the most to shape the drafting of the Constitution. After all of the delegates had figured out the three branches of government, Benjamin Franklin wanted George to become the first president of the young United States because he was the successful commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.

At the Constitutional Convention, the New Jersey Plan contained the idea of what would eventually become the Supremacy Clause. It was also known as the Paterson Plan.
There were fifty-five delegates to the 1787 constitutional convention, two of which later went on to become president, (George Washington, James Madison). Therefore the fraction is 2/55 or percentage is 3.6%. bib source - http:/www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/marryff.html
12 states went to the Constitutional Convention (also known as the Federal Convention, the Philadelphia Convention, the First Constitutional Convention, and the Constitutional Convention of 1787). Rhode Island didn't send delegates because it opposed any revision of the Articles of Confederation and it did not believe the national government had the right to interfere in the affairs of a state.All the states expect Rhode Island were represented at the constitutional convention. Because it had been self governed for over 140 years. And the state was reluctant to give up power to a central government.
Washington was very well respected. He had started his political career in the Virginia House of Burgesses and when the revolution started he was commander of American forces. At the constitutional convention he sat as it's president and to the delegates he was the only man that could be considered for president.
