What reading level is The Essentials of American Constitutional Law book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The State for some purposes retains its sovereignty, ' as in the exercise of its police power. ^ By the Constitution, the judicial power of the United States extends "to all cases of admiralty and mari- time jurisdiction, " but the State has jurisdiction to punish crimes committed within its territory; to regulate fisheries within that territory, and to punish those who violate its regulations. The admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the United States extends to the high seas, to the navigab...le waters of the United States, to the Great Lakes, and to rivers and lakes wholly within a State. Over its own territory the State has jurisdiction ; thus the territory which is the scene, or area, or location of the act may be subject to both State and federal jurisdiction, and is always within one or the other. ' Cohens v. Virginia, supra. ' This power has been discussed in the preceding Chapters on Sovereignty, Legislation, Commerce, Taxation, Contracts, etc. See index. 122 American Constitutional Law 104.
