No, it wasn't, throwing out the colonial rulers was done under the Articles of Confederation. The US Constitution was framed several years after that effort was completed, to deal with the problem that that the government under the AoC was too weak to get anything done outside of the imminent life-or-death struggle of the Revolution.
