To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are the hi)stile governments which the two sections are endeavoring to administer and perpetuate under one Constitution. The framers of our Government encountered the greatest trouble in the ad- justment of the delegated and reserved powers. Some feared tliat the Federal Government, by unauthorized construction, would so enlarge and consolidate its powers as to overshadow the several State governments — ultimately usurp all the reserved powers, and build up an oppressive centralism. Other...s thought the Federal Government would be too weak to protect itself afjainst the ab- sorption of its powers by the States. That the States united against it in any claim of power, would always defeat its exercise. And in case there was con- flict between the two it was thought the States would sustain each other, and thus in the end strip the Government of its powers, or so cripple their exercise as to reduce it to a mere skeleton. Althoue:h such fears were reasonable, yet experience has taught us that the greatest danger is to be apprehended from a different combination.
