To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the United States there is no religious animosity, because all religion is respected, and no sect is predominant ; there is no jealousy of rank, because the peo* pie is everythiQg, and none can contest its authority ; lastly, there is no public misery to serve as a means of agitation, because the physical position of the country opens so wide a field to industry* that man is able to accomplish the most surprising undertakings with his own native resources. Nevertheless, ambitious men are int...erested in the creation of parties, since it is difficult to eject a person from authority upon the mere ground that his place is covet- ed by others. The skill of the actors in the political world lies, therefore, in the art of creating parties. A political aspirant m the United States begins by discriminating his own interest, and by calculating upon those interests which may be collected around, and amalgamated with it : he then contrives to discover some doc* .trine or some principle which may suit the purposes of this new association, and which he adopts in order to bring forward his party and to secure its popularity : just as the imprimatur of a king was in foriner days incorporated with the volume which it authorized, but to which it nowise belonged.
