What reading level is The American Electoral System book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The result of this electoral election is well-known.
Adams received the vote of the New England States, together with New York, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Illi- nois, Missouri, and Louisiana, thirteen in all. Jackson was supported by New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Indiana; while Crawford obtained the votes of Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Adams carried the House by the aid and influence of Clay, who had written a letter defining ...his position. Clay's reasons for not supporting Jackson are far-fetched and dis- close symptoms of jealousy.* " As a friend of liberty and to the permanence of our in- stitutions, I cannot consent in this early stage of their existence, by contributing to the election of a military chieftain, to give the strongest guaranty that this republic will march on the fatal road which has conducted every other republic to ruin." * Clay to Hon. F. Brooke, Jan. 28, 1825.
124 TENTH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION What an unjust accusation against him who wrote these beautiful lines : " The ambition which leads me on is an anxious desire and a fixed determination to return to the people unimpaired the sacred trust they have confided to my charge, to heal the wounds of the Constitution, and preserve it from further viola- tion ; to persuade my countrymen, so far as I may, that it is not in a splendid government, supported by powerful monopo- lies and aristocratical establishments, that they will find happi- ness or their liberties protection ; but in a plain system void of pomp, protecting all and granting favors to none— dispensing its blessings like the dews of heaven, unseen and unfelt, save in the freshness and beauty they contribute to produce." * The Sage of Monticello seems to have shared the appre- hensions of Clay, for in a letter to old John Adams he de- clared the issue of the campaign was " whether we are, at last, to end our days under a civil or military govern- ment/** His wish was gratified.
