What reading level is An Enquiry Concerning the Liberty And Licentiousness of the Press And the Unc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


While a people have prescribed to their Govern- ment, such certain and unequivocal rules for the conduct of the administration of their functions, as the people of the United States have done, they must surely be obligatory. The Government can have no more constitutional right to enact laws in contradiction to the express and positive -letter of that Constitution, than the people to refuse obedi- ence to constitutional laws. In the one case, it would be the Government violating that which they
...have solemnly sworn to observe ; in the other, it would be the People refusing submission to the laws themselves had authorised, and to which they had sworn to give their support. Both would be vices of the worst kind, both would be productive of destruction to that social order, without which, society could not exist.
The Liberty of Speech and Press being of the first importance to mankind, ought to be guarded with the most jealous vigilance.^ No pretences or excuses ought to be adduced by the Government, nor admitted by the People.
