What reading level is Oriental America And Its Problems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The opening of the twentieth century, marked by the American ac- quisition of Asiatic islands, confronted the republic with a problem simi- lar to that which it met at the beginning of the nineteenth century in the annexation of Louisiana. Was the Constitution endowed through the wise forethought of its framers and the sound judgment of its construers with sufificient adaptability to enable the government to meet new and enlarged duties and responsibilities ? Or did the written organic law so c
...ramp the central government that it found itself helpless to meet the re- quirements of Greater America ?
There was more excuse for yielding to the suggestion of national and constitutional impotency when, as in Marshall's early days as chief justice, the long, thin line of Atlantic coast settlements and the isolated trans-Allegheny colonies which constituted the republic were confronted with the problem of incorporating and for a time arbitrarily ruling a vast tract of annexed wilderness, far larger than the area included within the repubhc itself ; when the people of this feeble republic, so lacking in national unity, were divided among themselves, weak in the republican faith and dubious concerning the success of constitutional government, and when the President of the United States, the head of the dominating political party, was of the unconcealed opinion that incorporation of an- nexed territory into the Union was impossible under the Constitution.
