What reading level is An Oration Addressed to the Citizens of the Town of Quincy On the Fourth of Ju book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Union was a novelty. Self-government was an innovation. The idea of recurring to the people of the Union for a constitution, does not appear to have presented itself then to any mind. Yet the Declara- tion of Independence had been issued in the name and by the authority of the whole people. The total inefficiency of the Confederation to fulfil any of the good offices for which it was intended, reinspired the idea of recurring to the first source of all political power, the people.
Thus rose... to birth the Constitution of the United States under which we yet live. It was formed by a Convention of Delegates, appointed by the Legis- latures of the respective States, upon a recommenda- tion of Congress, under a profound conviction of its own incom])etency to administer the affairs of the Union, either at home or abroad. The work of the Convention, when completed, was by their President, 25 Washington, transmitted to Congress ; and by them to the Legislatures of the several States. These, without undertaking to decide upon it themselves, re- ferred it back to the people, by whom it was sanc- tioned through the medium of Conventions specially elected in every State, who, after long investiga- tion, and severe scrutiny, accepted, adopted, and made it the supreme law of the land, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
