What reading level is Americanism What It is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The distinctive feature of the American con- ception of public authority is that unlimited power should be accorded to no branch of government, and not even to a majority of the people. It was precisely the "tyranny of majorities" that the founders of our republic most feared, and it was the in- herent rights of the individual which they meant to preserve. They did not intend, after escaping from the arbitrary rule of the British Parliament, to jeopardize their liberties by creating another arb...itrary gov- ernment.
ILL-CONSIDERED PROPOSALS OF CHANGE Now that the Constitution has borne its fruits, and has made us a free, united, and 36 AMERICAN CONCEPTION OF THE STATE prosperous nation, composed of forty-eight self-governed States the most important area of absolutely free intercourse in the world bound together by a single funda- mental law, under the jurisdiction of a Su- preme Court, we are able to estimate how great should be our appreciation of this system.
It is not necessary to state or to answer here the reasons offered by a new generation of theorists for changing our form of gov- ernment; but I venture the assertion that the ends contemplated by some of them are not compatible with what is historically the American conception of the State, and that they involve a complete repudiation of that "Americanism" which has been described.
