Delegates to a party's national convention are selected through primary elections and?
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to.

They vote again and again until a decision is reached.

Why did founding fathers get chosen to write the Constitution without any public input?
The Philadelphia Convention was, in fact held behind closed doors. Minutes of the meetings were secreted at Mt. Vernon, and not all delegates arrived at the convention with the understanding that the convention was being held not to alter the Articles of Confederation, but to replace them with a new Constitution. This secrecy was probably neccessary. To open the convention to public debate would have assured that it would have been mired in constant debate with little hope for a workable agreement. The delegates wisely, I think, chose to hammer out a completed document that could be presented to the states in a complete or near complete form. This both minimized the debate, and provided for those skillful at propaganda ample time to formulate arguements for and against the document. (Federalist Papers) In the end, the public did have a say, in so far as each state had to ratify the document.

Who helped write the U.S. Constitution?
The constitutional convention had 55 delegates who came and went in the four months it took to write the Constitution. James Madison took the notes of the convention while George Washington was the president of the convention. Thomas Jefferson was in France with John Adams so they didn't take part in the writing the constitution. Ben Franklin was in attendance at the convention and because of his advanced age he was carried in on a chair by jail inmates. The average age of the delegates was 44 and most were lawyers. At the end of the seventeen weeks only 42 of the 55 members remained to sign the constitution. Included in this number is 3 who refused to sign and returned home. No members were completely happy about the final result, but they adopted what was acceptable to the body and the entire country.
