What reading level is The Crisis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I propose next to consider whether the time has arrived when it becomes necessary to dissolve the political bands which have here- tofore connected us with the people of the North.
Some of the Southern States have proposed secession as the remedy ; but it is said that it is not lawful for any State to secede irom the Union. If by the term " lawful " it is meant that tliere is no legislative provision on the subject, I admit it — for it does not come within the scope of the legislative power of ...the Government; but I sub- mit, in the words of tlie great Commentator upon the laws of England, that whenever the emergency happen which justifies such a course, "the prudence of the times must provide new remedies upon new emergencies. " The right of secession is included in the riglit of every people to have a civil government which protects the rights of its citi- zens.
I am not unmindful of the dangers and much to be dreaded consequences which lie in the waJie of a dissolu- tion of this once glorious Union of ft>^Free and Indepen- dent States ; but the object of tliis Union was to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the com- mon defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.
