What reading level is The Evolution of Prussia, the Making of An Empire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To set up a brand-new Reichstag was to defy this dominant tendency ; but there was an alternative ex- pedient completely consonant with it. The Landtage, or Provincial Estates, were not all constructed on the same plan, and none exercised large powers, still they all had a tradition and a past behind them. Here was the chance both for reformers and romanticists, for liberals and Restoration and Reaction 281 conservatives. In some provinces, in Silesia and West- phalia for example, the mediatize...d princes, or barons of the Empire (Reichsunmittelbare), formed a separate Estate ; but generally the three Estates were : (i) ecclesi- astical corporations and Ritterschaften (or manorial lords) : (ii) cities ; (iii) rural unions.
The functions of the Landtage were narrowly restricted; they had some control over taxation, less over legislation, and none at all over administration. Their procedure was antiquated, and the whole conception on which they were based was mediaeval and aristocratic.
But they had one merit : they were native and not imported institutions ; they had roots in the past, even if they possessed httle utility in the present.
