What reading level is The Contributions of the Landed Man to Civil Liberty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chart. (8th ed. ) 255; Stubbs, Const. Hist. 150.
106 THE STRUGGLE FOR MAGNA CARTA indication of how much the sovereign had his own way that, in spite of the steadily increas- ing fiscal burdens, there are on record only two cases of opposition to taxation in the Great Council.
It will be well for us to see how great was the cause for the barons to take an interest in the granting of taxes and to oppose the king when they dared, for, as has already been more than once said, it was in their fisca...l grievances that the landowners found their strength. Indirect taxation, such as customs, had not yet become important. The general taxation of the coun- try was direct, and its early incidence, like that of feudal imposts, was upon the land. Per- sonal property was first made to contribute to the support of the nation in 1181, when the Assize of Arms required the possessor of chat- tels or an income of certain values to have cor- responding military equipments. Thus those who did not owe knight service were enrolled in the militia, and the old fyrd, or host of the people in arms, was revived.
