To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A clause is inserted in it that it shall go into effect when any nine of the thirteen States adopt it, let any four refuse as they might. If they had refused what would have happened would have been, that these four States, born States, and born United States, by the Declaration of Inde- pendence, by the war of the Revolution, by the peace with Great Britain, and by the articles of confederation, would by a common agreement among the whole thirteen, have refused to go fui-ther or to make any st...ronger national government ; while the other nine would have gone further and made that stronger national government. — But such was the desire of all {)arties that there should be no separation of the States at all, that the whole thir- 11 teen nnanimonsly adopted the new Constitution, puttinu^ a clause into it that it shonld not go into effect unless a majority so great as nine to four would sign it. I say if a minority of States had not adopted the new Constitution, it would have oc- curred, that tliey would have passed by common consent into a new condition, and for the first time have become sovereign States.
