To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To judge accurately of a constitutional right, we should look not only to the plain provisions of the Constitution itself" but to the meaning of the events which preceded its formation — the germinating elements of its origin. Without adverting to the teachings of the various unions illustrative of the progress of the republic, we will only refer to the Declaration of Independence, and to subsequent events immediately preceding the period when the Constitution was adopted. In the Declaration of... Independence the fundamental principles of freedom and constitutional rights were asserted, and upon this broad basis legitimate claims for justice were made, against long and permanent abuses and grievances, which were formally enu- merated and plainly set forth as sufficiently justifying, before the world, a revolutionary appeal to arms. In this document two great facts are recorded, important to be noted and remembered. 1st, A recognition of national sovereignty in the British Crown anterior to the time of the convention which made the Declara- tion ; and, 2d, The transfer of that sovereignty to the joint authority of the colonies, in convention assembled by the voice of the people, as States, which, when united under a Constitution, represented the same prerogatives of which the Crown had been divested.
