What reading level is Joint Resolution Inviting the Republic of Cuba to Become a State of the American book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why should we extend this invitation? Why does not Cuba ask for it? Simply becattse, though it is a desirable thing, simply because, thoiigh the people of both countries may be in favor of it, we will find that Cuba will be reluctant to take the initiative, because she will be suspi- cious and fearful of our action. She has seen us, under tempta- tion, absohitely abandon the doctrines of the fathers — those doc- trines which have been the inspiration of every Fourth of July orator for the last ...hundred years. She has seen us repudiate the doctrine of the inseparability of taxation and representation. She has seen us repudiate the doctrine of the consent of the gov- erned. She has seen us seize islands in a war inspired abso- lutely by benevolence, and has seen us yield to the temptation of greed and hold those islands against the will of their people. She will fear, if she makes the least advance toward the union of the two countries, that then we will endeavor to annex her, not as a State of the Union, but as a dependency, such as the Philippines are and svich as Porto Rico is.
