I never read Zinn. I did read Richard Hofstadter:

I’m not interested in that fake history. I don’t listen to leftist-inspired propaganda.

That’s not how our Constitution originated and our Founding Fathers were great freedom-loving people. They gave us a wonderful document. While I would agree that it has proved inadequate in several ways to restrain government power, they didn’t plan on future generations of millions CHOOSING to misunderstand it and seeking to expand, distort, and misconstrue it FAR beyond what they envisioned.

I still celebrate it for what it was. They gave us more freedoms than any land had yet known for well over a century and it’s largely OUR OWN FAULT it has been so falsified. No matter what documents you write up, someday Leftists will try to destroy them outright or rewrite them.
