What reading level is Letter of T L Clingman to the Editors of the Republic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unquestion- ably this is a power in the hands of the minority which might be abused; so, however, might any other power granted by the Constitution, whether given to the majority, the minority, or to a single mdividual, as the president, judge, or other officer. If the minority, ibr mere factious or slight pur- poses, were thus to impede legislation, this would, undoubtedly, be a great abuse; but if that minority ■were, on the other hand, to resort to this system only temporarily, and as a matt...er of defence against a well-settled and gross system of injustice and tyranny on the part of the majority, then their conduct would not only be no abuse of its powers, but would, in fact, be a most praise- worthy and patriotic action for the protection of the essential rights of their constituents. No citi- zen has a right to strike another person; but if one is assailed and beaten, then he is justified in strik- ing the assailant until he compels him to desist from his attack.
Since this mode of resistance was suggested, it seems to have been received with much favor by Southern men.
