It seems that the collection might say more about the perspective the writers have on American history than the series itself. Personally, I see Mal as comparable to those Americans sceptical about the merits of the US Constitution and who preferred their freedoms guaranteed by the Articles of Confederation; there is a school of historical writing to this day which regards the US Constitution as enshrining a coup against the people, though it appears that most of the population are not aware of it.
