What reading level is The Impending Political Epoch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Van Buren was defeated, and James K. Polk, of Ten- nessee, was nominated and elected President, defeating Henry Clay.
Afterwards I saw the Electoral College for Ohio meet at Columbus and go through the mummery of voting by ballot for President and Vice-President.
The members of the College then appointed one of their own number to carry one of the three certificates of the result of that election by the electors in Ohio to Washing- ton.
To me, it seemed like a solemn farce, and as if each membe...r of the College was cognizant of the fact.
These events impressed me deeply and so unfavorably that I never thereafter affirmed (as I had been taught to do) " that our National Constitution was the perfection of human wisdom " ; on the contrary, the more I studied it, the clearer did its defects and objectionable provisions appear to me.
But the fact must not be forgotten that the fathers of the Constitution were environed on every hand, and that only by yielding as they did, to the slave-holding interests, and also to the selfish demands of some of the States, was the organization of a National Government in 1789 pos- sible.
