I'm not from the US and I am not a native English speaker.

The federalist papers are, in my opinion, a true work of art. I find the linguistic elegance and finesse of these texts highly admirable.

Unfortunately, to my dismay, the usage of such "complex" language is discouraged nowadays. Or to express it in the appropriate linguistic style: Our modern era seems to espouse a predilection for accessibility and brevity, often at the expense of the stylistic grandeur and intellectual richness that was once the hallmark of our written and spoken discourse.
