What reading level is Democracy in America 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of his forefathers' creed, and retains another ; so that, amidst so many arbitrary measures, no common rule can ever be es- tablished, and it is almost impossible to predict which actions will be held in honor and which will be thought disgraceful.
Such times are wretched, but they are of short duration.
As honor, amongst democratic nations, is imperfectly defined, its influence is of course less powerful; for it is difficult to ap- ply with certainty and firmness a law which is not distinctly ...known. Public opinion, the natural and supreme interpreter of the laws of honor, not clearly discerning to which side cen- sure or approval ought to lean, can only pronounce a hesitating judgment. Sometimes the opinion of the public may contra- dict itself; more frequently it does not act, and lets things pass.
The weakness of the sense of honor in democracies also arises from several other causes. In aristocratic countries, the same notions of honor are always entertained by only a few persons, always limited in number, often separated from the rest of their fellow-dtizens.
