What reading level is Key-Notes of American Liberty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Now, it is possible that, even if there were no express provision givingsupremacy to the Constitution and laws of the United States over thoseof the States, it can be conceived that an instrument made for thepurpose of "_forming a more perfect Union_" than that of theConfederation, could be so constructed by the assembled wisdom of ourcountry as to substitute for that confederation a form of government, dependent for its existence on the local interest, the party spirit of aState, or of a prev...ailing faction in a State? Every man, of plain, unsophisticated understanding, who hears the question, will give such ananswer as will preserve the Union. Metaphysical subtlety, in pursuit ofan impracticable theory, could alone have devised one that is calculatedto destroy it.
I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one State, _incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorizedby its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it wasfounded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formed_.
