What reading level is A History of Constitution Making in Illinois book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The population of the state increased by about 50 per cent between 1860 and 1870 despite the turmoil of the war. The popu- lation movement towards Chicago was speeded up even more; the city nearly tripled in size during the decade. ■'■ Chicago was the dispropor- tionate leader in the state's industry; in 1870 the gross value of manufactured products in Cook County totaled $92 million, while the next highest county total was $8 million in Peoria County.^ The highly specific and detailed provisio...ns of the 1848 Consti- tution were inadequate to cope with problems of a growing urban in- dustrial state, particularly in the judicial, police, fire and sani- tation departments. The salary limitations imposed for the sake of economy in 1848 were circumvented by various subterfuges; the legis- lature usually voted the governor "expense money" for maintaining the executive mansion in an amount great enough to adequately supplement the $1500 he was allowed under the constitution.^ Judges were paid additional sums for minor "services rendered, " or their clerks were granted large salaries, part of which would go to the judges.
