What reading level is The Liberal State: a Speculation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where there is no hereditary monarchy, while for the rest there is a parliamentary system like that of England, with a Prime Minister at its head who is the leader of a party, a President above parties is still needed as a formal centre. Again, under a system in which the President is practically elected, not by a parliamentary choice express or implied, but by a direct popular vote, he has something more of monarchic power than most European monarchs ; and yet this power definitely depends on ...the general will. Why should not the general will fix the hereditary form of presidency as the most convenient? Histori- cally, it may be further contended on behalf of European monarchy, so far as it is of the constitutibnal type, this mode of kingship arose as a limited rule of chiefs over freemen.
Thus it was the real beginning of the republican polity. And it has long served as a rallying-point to enable national patriotism to rise above local and particular loyalties.
May it not still furnish an imaginative aid to the more abstract sentiment of devotion to the State?
