To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


It is for this reason that it has stood the test of more than a century with but slight amend- ment, while the modern state constitutions, into which a multitude of ordinary statutory provisions are crowded, have to be changed from year to year. The peculiar and essential qualities of the government established by the Constitution are : First, it is representative.
Second, it recognizes the liberty of the in- EXPERIMENTS 27 dividual citizen as distinguished from the total mass of citizens, and
...it protects that liberty by specific limitations upon the power of government.
Third, it distributes the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial powers, which make up the sum total of all government, into three sep- arate departments, and specifically limits the powers of the officers in each department.
Fourth, it superimposes upon a federation of state governments, a national government with sovereignty acting directly not merely upon the states, but upon the citizens of each state, within a line of limitation drawn be- tween the powers of the national government and the powers of the state governments.
