What reading level is Washington the Founder of the Nation An Address Read Before the Rhode Island H book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In opposition to the example of all previously existing republics we have entrusted the active duties of government to a selected few. This is obviously the most unpopular provision which could be proposed, seeing that it was a plan as yet untried in any similar situation of human affairs ; and, in practice, it has proved the strongest safeguard of our free institutions. The example of the French re- public has abundantly shown the danger of submit- ting public questions to the direct vote of t...he whole people. "It is, " says Bolzac, " an axiom written on the universe that there is no vigor except where there are few active principles. " We have, again, a central and predominant governmental power, strong enough, as has been proved, to repress any combination which might be formed against it, and armed with the judicial power to determine, without appeal, the limits of its own authority. We have the deliberately expressed opinion of Washington that if such a government could have been established at the beginning of the revolutionary struggle, he ''could demonstrate to every mind open to conviction that, in less time and 14 with much less expense than has been incurred, the war might have been brought to the same happy conclusion.
