To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the formation of Constitutions for the several States, similar errors of inexperience were commit- ted. The Constitutions were all republican, all popu- lar — not monarchical — not military. An article amen- datory to the Constitution of the United States, de- clares that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. There are powers, then, powers of govern- ment, reserved to t...he people, and which never have been delegated either to the United or to the sepa- rate States ; nor do the United States, nor the sepa- rate States possess any powers, not delegated to them by the people — by the people of the whole Union to the United States — by the people of each separate State to that State. Hence it follows, too, that the people of each State were incompetent to del- egate to the State, any power already delegated by the people of the whole Union to the United States.
