What reading level is The French Parliaments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"You owe me obedience. Do not cause me the annoyance of having to attend the Parliament. I speak as your King, and I must be obeyed. " The judges were reluctant to grant any measure of tolera- tion. Even the provincial Parliaments remonstrated against granting any rights to Protestants, but they remonstrated in vain. Eighty-six years later the revocation of the Edict of Nantes was registered by the successors of these judges with- out a word of protest from any member of the courts.
The iron ha...nd of Richelieu repressed any assertion of inde- pendence in the parliaments as in every branch of French life. The Cardinal was determined to exercise his power, and of any public sentiment which could sustain the resistance of the courts there were only scanty traces in the times of Richelieu. The Parliament remonstrated in vain against many of the car- dinal's favorite measures. They were even unwilling to reg- ister the famous edict for the creation of the French academy, a curious instance of how perversely w r rongheaded the French judges often became when they got outside of their proper offi- THE FRENCH PARLIAMENTS.
