What reading level is American Ideals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Th^ /emphasis of the time was everywhere upon the rights of the individual rather more than upon the duties of the citizen. vWhen their theories, as Digi tized by Google 160 AMERICAN DEMOCRACY Mr. Hadley points out, seemed likely to secure this result, the fathers published them boldly; when they seemed likely to interfere, they ignored them. The creed, then, which had a religious sanction in an age of moral imagination to men of superb human enthusiasm like Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, and... Adams, was the belief that democracy, con- sidered as individual freedom, was the final form of human society. It is idle to deny that a century of trial has some- what dulled the halo about this ancient concept of democ- racy, but in my judgment only to men of little faith. It is quite true that our democracy of to-day is not what Rous- seau thought it would be, nor Lord Byron, nor Shelley, nor Karl Marx. But as we meditate about it and conclude that it has not realized all of its hopes, we ought to try to settle first what it has done and then place that to its credit.
