What reading level is Letter of Commodore Stockton On the Slavery Question book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever the doctrine of inferential powers — that latitudinarian doctrine — comes fully to be insisted on and adopted, the Constitution will become itself a thing of wax, to be moulded by the ever-changing opinions of men, into whatever shape those opinions happen to take — the majority will become supreme — its will, the Constitution, and everything conservative, will be liable to be broken down. Suppose a measure oppressive — ruinous to one portion of the Union, is adopted by a mere constitu...tional majority, and in constitutional form — it is said the party complaining and denying its constitu- tionality, has an appeal to the Supreme Court. But to argue that that is always to be regarded as a place of absolute security, is to argue that it is infallible. It undergoes the process of change by death ; the new incumbents are apt to partake of the views of the Constitution held by a majority of the government, and the Court to become itself the advocate of those views. Beyond this are the rocks, the breakers of revolution ; the dernier resort of an oppressed people.
