What reading level is The Question Before Congress a Consideration of the Debates And Final Action By book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The slavery question, however, was about the only issue before the people at this election. Well-defined, clear-cut and stripped of qualifications, the question was: Shall slave-holders be permitted to carry their institution of slavery into territory where the laws of the nation had ex- pressly prohibited it. The time for abstract lectures and learned dissertations by the select few had past. The issue had been reduced to its lowest terms and simplest form where a catagorical answer had to be ...given by the common people. And on this issue the Republicans were given a majority in both Houses of Congress and put in control of the govern- ment, but the possession of this power at first had the effect of frightening rather than elating them. And when we con- sider the responsibility thus suddenly thrust upon a lot of men, a large majority of whom were new and inexperienced in matters of legislation and who were immediately called upon to face the gravest legislative problems of their age, it can be readily understood how fearfully confused they were and how much confused they were in their fear.
