What reading level is The Duties And Dangers of Those Who Are Born Free book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What are your rulers? they are men honored men whom you entrust, for a season, with the exercise of your power. They do not govern you ; they are the 17 means by which you govern yourselves : they breathe your spirit ; they do your pleasure ; they cease to exist, the moment your verdict is against them. Where, then, should the responsibility rest ? with those who possess a delegated power, or with those who possess the sovereign power? However wise and faithful the rulers may be, the people hav...e power to undo all that they have done ; however excellent the measures they propose, they cannot take effect, till they bear the sign manual of the sovereign. You have power to affirm or reverse their decisions ; so that you are responsible for your ac- tions and theirs also, and they, as rulers, only for their cwn.
Is it well, then is it right, to show the indiffer- ence which many do ? is it not their duty to take an interest in the subject of public men and measures to ponder well, before they select the one, or set their seal upon the other ?
