To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
country were the courts more firm in upholding the reserved rights of the states. The doctrine of States' Rights, as interpreted by the Southern States in justification of secession, for a time brought into greater prominence the neces- sity of a strong federal power. Other emergencies are likely to arise when greater power will be claimed for the federal government. But it would be well for us to remember that, to the preservation of the republic, it is as essential to maintain firmly the re- ...ser\^ed rights of the states, as it is to maintain the powers conceded to the federal government. To concentrate power in the federal government b}' de- stroj^ing the rights of the states is to insure despot- ism. We see in the articles of confederation an out- line of this idea, which, though but an outline, is, nevertheless, clearly drawn. We do not find in these articles the elaborate pro- visions which we find in the present constitution of the United States, but we find in them the germ of a greater republic.
