What reading level is The Defeat of Party Despotism By the Re Enfranchisement of the Individual Citize book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, notwithstanding, the managers of the dom- inant party should venture to nominate an unfit candidate, the voters of the party would vote him down on election day without the slightest fear of thereby giving the election to the opposite party. There would be no election on that ballot. But there would be a nomination. For the defect under which the old Massachusetts law failed would be remedied by a provision restrict- ing the voters at the second ballot to three candidates receiving the high...est number of votes at the first ballot; and at the third ballot, if a third should be required, reducing the number of candidates to two. For lack of such a provision under the old law, the attempt to elect so often resulted in an interminable dead-lock, that the people, out of mere impatience, abolished the law instead of amending it, and so permitted the two great parties for a few years to crush the third party, until at last the third party grew big enough to crush them both. Under a well- devised majority election law, the dead-lock could never outlast three ballots ; and it is simply reasonable to expect that the salu- tary influence of the law upon nominating conventions would result in such nominations as might, in ordinary circumstances, win a majority at the first trial.
