The rabble rousers such as Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty were not invited to the Constitutional Convention because they wanted conservative men with only rational thoughts that could keep the secret of the events happening at the convention.

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, George Washington was chosen to preside over the proceedings. The convention was one of the greatest events in United States history, because the United States Constitution was created there. The convention had been called under the pretext of revising the Articles of Confederation, but it was determined that an entirely new and thorough document was needed.
Shay's Rebellion showed that the federal government as it existed under the Articles of Confederation was too weak to properly deal with major events- the government was unable to raise money to build an army and stop the rebellion. This was one of the factors that led the Founding Fathers to hold the Constitutional Convention, where they drafted and eventually ratified the U.S. Constitution.
