What reading level is The Jacksonian Epoch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That power was granted by a joint resolution adopted by Congress and ap- proved by the President in 1816, which therefore had all the force of a formal statute. Simply stated, the question was. Does the word " or," as used in the resolution, mean " and " ? The resolution directed the Secretary of the Treas- ury to adopt such means as he deemed necessary to cause " all duties, taxes, debts, or sums of money accruing or be- coming payable to the United States to be collected and paid in the legal... currency of the United States, w Treasury notes, or notes of the Bank of the United States as by law 20 306 THE JACKSONIAN EPOCH [1836 provided and declared, or in notes of banks which are pay- able and paid on demand in said legal currency of the United States." It then needlessly added that " no such duties, taxes, debts, or sums of money . . . ought to be collected or received otherwise than in the legal currency of the United States, or notes of the Bank of the United States, or Treasury notes, or notes of banks which are pay- able and paid on demand in said legal currency of the United States." Beyond doubt the resolution granted the power of selection, and hence of exclusion, l^or was the practical construction of precedent wanting.
