To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Douglas went much further and contended, that there was an inherent, inalienable rignt in every community to regulate its domestic affairs in its own way ; that this right was openly pro- claimed in the Declaration of Independence, and that there was nothing in the Constitution of the United States to take it away. This was his great doctrine of " Popular Sovereignty" applied to the people of the territories of the United States. With what face can the followers of Mr. Douglas uphold the co...nstitutional- ity of the Reconstruction Act, an Act which establishes over the territories of the United States an arbitrary military government, depriving individuals of trial by jury, and entirety ignoring their right to manage their domestic affairs in their own way ? But, say the advocates of the bill, these people are rebels and traitors who have forfeited all right to constitutional protection. But they cannot be a conquered people and rebels too, because the two things are in their nature entirely incompatible.
