What reading level is Memoir of Robert Troup Paine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The aspect of the whole case is now entirely altered. The majority have now parted with 228 right and justice, Avhicla they might have retained, but which has now gone over to the minority. And now come into opera- tion other natural principles which are implanted in the mind along with the princijDle of government. These are a sense of certain natural rights, and an impulse to retributive justice whenever these rights are infringed ; and if we derive from an innate desire of government the nec...essity of submission to the majority, we equally infer from our perceptions of justice the duty of the majority in respecting the rights of the minority, and, when this is not done, the propriety of resistance or rebel- lion, if necessary. There are, therefore, principles in operation between the two parties which have a constant tendency to maintain the rights of both ; and were it not for the natural right of resistance when the social compact is violated, there would be no limit to which an overbearing majority might not carry their abuse of power.
