To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suppose congress should be of opinion, that if Missouri is to be a slave state, her northern boundary ought to be the river, cutting off the large and fertile tract of country that lies beyond it : but, if she will adopt the proposition of the amendment, she ought to have for her domain the whole territory within her present limits. Might not congress propose to her the alternative, take the re- striction and you shall have all the territory ; reject the restriction and you shall not go beyond ...the river 1 Some- thing of this kind is very likely to happen, and it may here- after appear that Missouri is contending for a principle that will operate much to her disadvantage. For my own part — and I speak only for myself — I most freely and sin- cerely declare, that if the restriction be not agreed to, I will vote for reducing Missouri to the smallest limits that are consistent with the character of a state. If the re- striction be agreed to, I will vote for giv ing her such boun- daries as will secure her grandeur and comparative impor- tance.
