To understand the answer to this question, it's necessary to understand the culture of the times. In 1793, men dominated politics. Women were not even allowed to vote. Consequently, all signers of the US Constitution were men. Better said, the representatives who ratified the US Constitution were white male citizens.
56 men signed it. John Adams was the first of the 56 to sign.
Most were lawyers. Many were plantation owners , and a few businessmen. They were the cream of the colonies.
The line is not in the constitution, but in the Declaration of Independence.
They are the men who either signed the Declaration of Independence, also known as Founders or Fathers, or men who signed the Constitution, also known as Framers - John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, et cetera. However, they are also the men (or women) who had a large part in creating the nation - John Marshall, Dolley Madison, Thomas Paine, et cetera. So, in general, the people who had a part in creating the nation, by signing the Declaration, the Constitution, or in their respective roles (i.e. Chief Justice).
All 13 sent men to the convention. In total there were 55 men who were there. Not all were there at the same time and many came and went as the months went on. You have to remember that May to Sept. is prime growing time and many were owners of plantations or had business at home. A large number were lawyers.
I do not know if all white men wrote or signed the constitution. But I do know that all business men were not white.

The final page of the Constitution has all the signatures of the men who were there the day it was finished. One of the most famous was Ben Franklin who when he signed stated " I now know that the sun carved in the chair of George Washington is a rising sun and not a setting sun."
Originally, 70 men were invited to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Of those invited, 55 attended and 39 actually signed the final document.?æ
