What reading level is The Fugitive Slave Law book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Can lan- guage make that clearer. I go to the next section. Sec. 2. " The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immuni- ties of citizens in the several States. " Very well ! A colored man in Massachu- setts goes out from our ports, and goes into one of the harbors of South Carolina. They do not give him the immunities of the citizen of the State. Does any southern man con- tend that Congress has the power to enforce that section ? No ! there is no power grant- ed th...ere. There is a declaration of a princi- ple, but it does not say that Congress shall possess the power to enforce it. Therefore they say that South Carolina may make what laws she pleases, and the United States gov- ernment can do nothing to prevent it. They adopt one rule for this clause, and another rule for another clause in the same section. But do I say that Congress has the power to enforce action in consonance with this clause, in the harbor of Charleston ? No ! I choose strict construction on all these clauses.
