What reading level is Speech of Mr Joseph Segar of Elizabeth City And Warwick On the Wilmot Proviso book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir, it is an unequal, unjust, odious, dishonourable, degrading discrimination.
But it is argued by the gentleman from Fauquier, that the right which the states have to the territories, is one which does not pertain to them as states, but to the individual citizens of the states; and thus it is attempted to weaken the argument against the Wilmot pro- viso deduced from the general equality of the states.
I hold that the states, as states, have this territorial interest and right. Sir, who framed... the confederation? Who made the Union? Who were the parties to the federal compact ? Who constituted the ge- neral agent ? Who executed to that agent the power of attorney under which, and which alone, it acts ? The individual citizens of the states ? By no means, Mr. Speaker. It is an historical fact, that the states, acting as states, as separate sovereignties, adopted the federal constitution, and defined the powers and the capacities of the new government. The peo- ple of the United States did not meet in one aggregate mass to adopt the constitution, but the people of each state met separately, and acted separately; each voting as a state, as a separate, independent sove- reignty.
