The proposal described at the Constitutional Convention that included a president, courts, and a bicameral legislature is known as the Virginia Plan. Introduced by Edmund Randolph and largely drafted by James Madison, it called for a strong national government with three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. The bicameral legislature would consist of two houses, with representation based on state population, aiming to balance the interests of both large and small states. This plan served as a foundation for the eventual structure of the U.S. Constitution.
A bicameral legislature is composed of two houses of the legislature.

The government created at the Constitutional Convention reflected some principles from the New Jersey Plan, particularly in its emphasis on equal representation for states in the Senate. Both plans aimed to balance the interests of smaller states against larger ones. Additionally, the New Jersey Plan's call for a unicameral legislature influenced the debate over legislative structure, ultimately leading to the compromise of a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate. This blend ensured that both large and small states had a voice in the new government.

Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson are actually examples of two prominent Founding Fathers who did not attend the Constitutional Convention. Patrick Henry, a staunch supporter of states' rights, declined to attend. Thomas Jefferson was in Europe at the time.
The Constitution of 1962
the convection included most of the leading statesmen of the day
Conventions were called to determine what form the ultimate Constitution would take, what it would include and exclude, and generally how it would work. Every time the Supreme Court makes a ruling on a case they are in a sense making a statement about how they think the Constitution applies to that particular case, and thus, about what the constitution itself means in the present day.

This is easy! In the 1700s, only "free over age 21 White males" had any power. So ALL the delegates were White and ALL were male. Women and slaves were property and had no rights. Thomas Jefferson described the delegated as an "assembly of [white] demigods."
