AS and A Level: Politics: Political Philosophy Coursework

"This is not even structured like an essay! It seems to be just copied off an internet site or from the student's own notes."

"A very interesting essay, focusing on the roots of the nation state. I was impressed by the writer's approach, looking at the psychological reasons that lead people towards wanting to be part of a group, wanting to be a member of a nation. Both the modernist and pre-modernist views are considered in depth, and the conflicts between the two are highlighted by the references to various critics. There is much to be said for the essay's intellectual value; the writer could easily have taken a more base approach to the matter. Formatting of text could be improved slightly, but all in all: very good. TSR user: Edenr."

"The writer shows a significant amount of historical knowledge. The traditional ideals of the Labour party are noted, and the changes they have undergone since the party's founding are talked about in detail. The writer shows awareness of the two main influences on the party's ideological positions; the views of the party leader, and whether or not the party is in opposition. Improvements could be made with regard to spelling and grammar, but generally the quality of the writing is high. TSR user: Edenr."

"A very enjoyable read. The writer tackles one of the most ambiguous terms in the American political landscape - liberal - and provides a thorough review of its origins and its journey over the last few hundred years. The writer defines well the terms he intends to use, setting out starkly the differences between classical liberals and progressive liberals. He then goes on to show an impressive knowledge of American history, and of the way that various cultural and religious movements came to impress their values onto the changing face of liberalism. Constitutionalism is looked at in detail, with the founding fathers profiled, allowing us to gain insight into their own views on liberalism and how they shaped the country that became the United States.
