Bridget's feedback:

"This essay shows very good focus, organization, and structure within and across your paragraphs, and your conclusion follows directly upon the body paragraphs' interventions. I see a few errors or typos that can be caught with a careful proofread, as well as a few spots for polishing up in the interest of clarity (e.g., unclear use of "their" in the last sentence of your first paragraph, or use of "compulsion" rather than "compulsory").

As I read, I noticed a few claims that would feel stronger with some sourcing. These include broad claims like "Indeed, in most accidents..."--a reader may want some data or evidence to back up that key word "most." As a final note, I wondered if some distinction should be made in the first body paragraph between classical liberalism, modern liberalism (considering the post-1968 period under discussion), and libertarianism, whose emphasis on small government in addition to personal freedom seems most relevant to your points."
