What reading level is The Elements of English Constitutional History, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The clergy^ in fact, believed less and less in themselves ; therefore other men believed less and less in the clergy^ Whilst the clergy were losing power there were causes which embittered the laity more and more against them.
One. of these causes was their excessive wealth. The Church being immortal, was always acquiring riches, but never lost any. Edward I. had tried to prevent any further acquisition of land by the Church. Certain knights of the shires proposed, in 1404, that the king should... take one year's revenue of the Church to defray his expenses.
In 1410 the Commons are said to have proposed the con- fiscation of all the estates of the bishops and monasteries.
In 1414 the Parliament actually granted to Henry V. all the estates of the " alien priories ,'' that is, priories be- longing to foreign monasteries.
Another grievance of the laity was the tyranny of the "spiritual courts," that is. Church courts which under- took to repress forms of immorality not punishable under the criminal law.
