No one who was poor was represented. The convention was comprised of 55 lawyers, merchants, and representatives from the states. The rich white man wrote the constitution and for the first half of this government the common man couldn't vote for elected officials nor take part in the decisions made by the government. Frankly, the "founding" fathers didn't think the common man had the education or intelligence to make such decisions.
