What reading level is Proceedings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A sovereign who acts only through dele- gates may be said to have abdicated." Is it objected .that the people are not intelligent enough to be trusted with this supervisory power? Or is it argued that they would be apathetic, because in American experience the voting on candidates is larger than on questions of public policy?
These objections nullify each other. The argument that the people are apathetic takes into consideration only the unintelli- gent who neglect to vote, ignoring the public ...spirit of the intel- ligent who do vote. Those who do vote are not apathetic ; they prove it by voting. Neither are they unintelligent, except by the frail test that he who is with us is intelligent and he who is against us is not. What, then, does the apathy argument lead to but the conclusion that the initiative and the referendum would operate automatically to disfranchise the unintelligent?
But that would be an ideal system for making intelligence the condition of suffrage. That the suffrage ought to be limited to the intelligent may be granted.
