To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance ; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovern- ment from a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze. " Is it probable, then, that men, in whose minds these principles of freedom, and even of democratic freedom, were engrafted and incorporated, and who had just emerged from a struggle against the will of one man, would ...at once, in framing their own Govern- ment, give to one man — their Executive — a power to suspend their privileges — a power which even he, whom they had called a tyrant, could not exercise ; and not only give that power, but part with it forever to him and his successors, and thus place it beyond the control of the people, or their immediate representatives ? One class of thinkers may, indeed, be predisposed to think that most probable. For what has been said of the English Constitu- tion may, in these days, be said of our own.
