Speaking as a historian, I'd really like to applaud this sentiment.

Much of what we know of past governments comes from that kind of document, and debates in the House.

I don't see how it is a waste of time. It would take very little time to actually draw up. The only thing that would make it a waste of time wuold be to unnecessarily treat as a matter of controversy and waste a bunch of time discussing it and overanalysing it.
