James Madison (whom many called the Father the Constitution), said that the Constitution, as written, was a "dead letter, until life and validity were breathed into it by the voice of the people, speaking through" the "State Conventions." So in searching for "the meaning" of the Constitution, if we look "beyond [its] face" we "must look" to the "State Conventions, which accepted and ratified the Constitution."
James Wilson commenced the campaign to ratify the Constitution in Pennsylvania with a famous speech on October 6, 1787. One assurance he offered Americans is that "the proceedings of the supreme court, are to be regulated by the congress, which is a faithful representation of the people." Wilson, a lawyer, went on to become an eminent professor of law and a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
