What reading level is The Strength And Weakness of Popular Government in the United States An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is told that in America, the law knows nothing of religion and treats all churches just as it treats base-ball clubs ; yet on Sunday he finds the daily habits of the people seriously modified by law in deference to religious opinions ; he sees the proceedings of most legis- lative bodies opened by a religious service, may hear a Court reject a witness' testimony for want of religious belief, on grounds which would render not a few among the statesmen of Continental Europe avowedly incom- pet...ent, and learns that in almost every State, Church buildings are exempted from taxation, and clergymen from militia service or jury duty. It is hardly surprising if he does not readily understand this, and yet the explanation is very simple. We are, in fact, essentially a religious people, but we do not deem the civil government com petent to determine the comparative merits of different faiths. That function is reserved to the individual citizen, 9 and wherever public opinion ceases to be practically unanimous as to questions of belief or morals, the State's province ends.
