What reading level is Coercion Completed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If you make requisi- tions and they are not complied with ; what is to be done ?" It has been well observed, that to coerce the States is one of the maddest projects that ever was devised. A failure of compli- ance will never be confined to a single State. This being the case, can we suppose it wise to hazard a civil war ? Here is a nation at war with itself! A government that can exist only by the sword. Every such war must involve the innocent with the guilty. This single consideration should... be sufficient to dispose every peaceable citizen against such a government. * * "What is the cure for this great evil ? Nothing, but to enable the national laws to operate on individuals, in the same manner as those of the States do. " The abuse of Hamilton's language, the purpose of which is clearly shown by the context, is resorted to in order to de- nounce the administration for employing the military power of the Government in resistance to a military attempt to subvert it. For it must always be remembered, that this war was not begun by the United States, that it is not a war merely of coer- cion, that the right or duty of the initiatory coercion of States is not at all the question ; that, on the part of the Government, it is the exercise of a power necessarily incident to all government, the power of self-defence, and the exercise of an express consti- tutional power — a war against a war begun — a war against " treason, " which the Constitution declares " consists in levy- ing wak against the United States.
