Was the constitution framed as an elitist or populist document?

Highly elitist. How else do you explain the Electoral College?

Even suffrage for all white males wouldn't be around for another half century or so.

The U.S. Constitution was one of the most radical documents ever written in the cause of freedom and republican model of government.  If you consider this document elitist, what would you consider Machiavelli?

Realistic.

The Magna Carta is perhaps more significant because if was the first written Constitution of any kind of govt.

That's a fairly loose definition of constitution.
 

Are some of you related to Karl Marx?

I am.
