What reading level is The Powers of the Executive Department of the Government of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was several months ago. Whether the practice was thenceforth continued, or whether the severe and well-merited cen- sures of the editor, of an abuse so enormous 93 and miscliievous, served to arrest or check it, I am not informed. These were among the highest and most dangerous crimes known to our laws, crimes which, until lately, in England, subjected the offender to capital punishment. The dullest appre- hension can require no prompting to per- ceive that these presidential acts, instead... of being in harmony with the spirit of the laws, were in flagrant conflict, not less with their spirit than their letter. Of the recent prodigal and almost boundless, yet appar- ently capricious exercise of this power in the grant of pardons for treason, I leave my readers to form their own opinions.
That the power to pardon offenses ought to find a place in our government, few, if any, probablj', are disposed to deny.
At the adoiition of the Constitution, neither the necessity of the power, nor, with one exception, the expediency of vest- 94 ing it in the president, appears to have been questioned.
