This is some comment from professor.
In looking over your paper, I have a few questions/clarifications/issues that should probably be addressed in your final paper.
Where is your thesis? Generally, your thesis goes at the end of your introductory paragraph(s), but I couldn't seem to find it. The part where you actually start arguing something appears to be around the section titled 'why elites are not successful,' but I need something indicating your argument much sooner than that. Furthermore, I wasn't really sure what you were arguing until your conclusion--your introduction should definitely be more focused on the point you're trying to make.
Keep in mind that constitutions are not unique to democratic societies, and also that monarchy is not a governmental system that necessarily excludes democracy. For example, Great Britain is what we call a constitutional monarchy--they have a constitution, a monarch, and democratically elected representatives.
Headings should ONLY be used if they designate sections that will be tied together to form an argument. Your current headings function more like topic sentences than headings, and therefore seem redundant. Either shorten them to the key point of each section (MAYBE three words total) or integrate them into the paragraphs as topic sentences.

The introduction and claims presented are not argumentative. Your first two claims are merely discussions of the difference in viewpoint between Hobbes and Locke with little argument regarding the assertion of 'better.'

Overall, your organization is fairly haphazard. Each component
of your supporting evidence sections tries to do too much, and
therefore your overall claim is not cohesive.

Things to focus on for your next outline:
SHORT, CLEAR SENTENCES
Nothing wrong with choosing short, simple words rather than
very complicated vocabulary.
4. Explain why the things you cite as evidence really do count as
evidence for your thesis.
Flesh out any sentence fragments so that they are short, clear
sentences.
Consider objections at every turn. (For example, what about
someone who says North Korea is not a monarchy in Hobbes's
sense (or perhaps, at all)?)
