I guess that because the Constitution begins "We the people of the United States,

Maybe you expected them to write,"We,the people of Germany,Great Britian,and France determine that the people of the United States....."? They were merely stating their new status and their "standing" to formulate these rules,not making restrictions.

Doesn't it say; "We the People of the united States..." Mr. Jefferson used the lower case "u". Also, wouldn't any foreign citizen/subject be protected by the laws of the State he/she is in at any instant making constitutional questions moot?
