What reading level is History of the Origin Formation And Adoption of the Constitution of the United book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there were some mem- bers of the Federal party, in several of the States, who do not seem to have fully appreciated the importance of conceding to the opposition, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, the use of any and every form of obtaining amendments which the Con- stitution itself recognized. This was true every- where, where serious dissatisfaction existed, and it was especially true in the State of New York. It was impossible to procure a ratification in that State, withou...t an equivalent concession ; and if the Fed- eral leaders in that convention assented to the pro- posal of a course of amending the Constitution for which the instrument itself provided, however ineli- gible it might be, their justification is to be found in the circumstances of their situation. Washington himself, when all was over, wrote to Mr. Jay as fol- lows : " Although I could scarcely conceive it pos- sible, after ten States had adopted the Constitution, that New York, separated as it is from the others, and peculiarly divided in sentiments as it is, would withdraw from the Union, yet, considering the great majority which appeared to cling together in the convention, and the decided temper of the leaders, I did not, I confess, see how it was to be avoided.
