You do realize that Jefferson and Madison created the original Republican Party (now the Democrats), and Adams and Hamilton were founders of the Federalist Party (died in 1816). Despite their intentions they wasted no time in creating political parties. The same people within a five year period created the Constitution and political parties. It wasn't different people, but the same people.

So? They also knew that political parties would tear the country apart and tried to avoid it. Their first design lasted for 4 elections. Yup. They had to change it. But that doesn’t make what they knew less true and that is that parties are divisive and become factions that control. The losers are the people.
