Two thoughts

1. The Federalist and Counter Federalist papers were pretty concise.

2. This reminds me a bit of the book series Ender's shadow; the parallel series to Ender's Game where Peter is trying to figure out how to set up a new form of government.

The Federalist papers were written by 1. a group of people 2. in newspapers (with space at a premium) 3. to deal with an immediate real-world issue. Rather than Prog; Hamilton, Madison & Jay remind me of the Stax or Motown house bands churning out “all killer no filler” singles to a schedule in relative anonymity. The Publius house band, if you will.
