What reading level is Remarks On the Governors Speech book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Governor is too good a law- yer to be ignorant that no prescription can run against the life and liberty of a citizen. If a statute were pass- ed to-morrow in the British Parliament, investing the crown with this odious prerogative, the statute would be void ; for it would be contrary to the express pro- vision of magna cliarta. They say that necessity jus- tifies it. A temporary and unexpected necessity will doubtless justify a temporary infraction of law and justice, to meet its exigencie...s. But what shall we say to a necessity that has existed from time immemorial ? Common sense would say at once, that such a neces- sity is one of the ordinary necessities of government, and that the sacrifices it requires, must in justice, be apportioned equally among those who are to bear them.
This then is the root of the evil. If Britain would wash her hands of this domestic tyranny, we should 30 bear no more disputes about allegiance and right of service. We anticipate, however, the very just re- mark, that we have no riglit to interfere with the mu- nicipal regulations of a foreign power, any farther than they operate upon ourselves.
