To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
22 But the American people were now to be subjected to a trial, which proved more severe than that through which they had lately passed— the trial of prosperity. The ar- duous struggle was over; the danger had vanished; an in- dependent government was established.
But the form called the confederation, having been found, upon trial, in many respects defective, a convention of De- legates from all the States met in Philadelphia, in the year 1787, to frame a new Constitution. In the course of the... debates in this body, the slave question was brought up. Two of the slaveholding states, South Carolina and Georgia, wished to secure to themselves the right of importing slaves. This subject, in connexion with another, was finally refer- red to a committee of one from each State. Their report, called a compromise, with some amendments was adopted, and now forms a part of our Constitution, and is as follows: " The migration or importation of such persons, as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year 1808, but a tax, or duty, may be imposed on such importation not exceeding ten dollars for each person.
