Here's the list of all of the Delegates who attended the convention. There were both Federalists & Anti-Federalists in attendance. The Republican party did not exist at that point.

Answer 2

There was not any political party back then. If you look at the delegates who signed the constitution, you have George Washington, a independent but Federalist leaning president. Also, you have James Madison, a Republican (or democratic-republican) president. The Federalists were the ones who wrote the constitution. The anti-federalists were aginsts the constituion and for the exisiting Articles of Confederation. Just because you were considered a Federalist at the time of the writing of the constitution does not mean you were a Federalist the rest of your political life. The names of Federalist and Republican were adopted after the constitutional convention.
