What reading level is The American Republic Its Constitution Tendencies And Destiny book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Self-government, taken strictly, is a contradiction in terms. When an indi- vidual is said to govern himself, he is never understood to govern himself in the sense in which he is governed. He by his reason and will governs or restrains his appetites and pas- sions. It is man as spirit governing man as flesh, the spiritual mind governing the carnal mind.
Natural developments cannot in all cases be even allowed to take their own course without injury to nature herself. " Follow nature " is an uns...afe maxim, if it means, leave nature to de- velop herself as she will, and follow thy natural inclinations. Nature is good, but inclinations are frequently bad. All our appetites and pas- sions are given us for good, for a purpose useful and necessary to individual and social life, but they become morbid and injurious if indulged without restraint. Each has its special object, and naturally seeks it exclusively, and thus generates discord and war in the individual, which immediately find expression in society, and also in the state, if the state be a simple natural development.
