Bridget's feedback:

"You've done well in effectively using your introduction to establish your purpose, main ideas, and roadmap the body for the reader; by signposting and then hewing to the promised structure, the reader easily follows the essay and can focus on the details of your argument.

The writing itself shows good control; as you move forward, take the opportunity to continue polishing it up a bit, including catching occasional errors and ensuring precise expression of the argumentation on the word- and syntax-level (for example, there is some confusing conceptual movement between Locke and American government in the third body paragraph that can be addressed with a bit of revision). Finally, I'm curious if you disagreed with any of his views: if so, consider incorporating reservations or critiques into that final paragraph. (I also recommend trimming the last claim about world historical importance, which extends the scope of the paper unnecessarily at the last moment.)"
