Locke and homosexuality
In the text there is mention of Locke as a bachelor. Perhaps this can be developed. Locke's biographer, Roger Woolhouse suggests that Locke's relationship with Toinard was suggestive of homosexuality. These elements have been picked up by Brian Smith in "Assessing ‘unnatural lusts’: John Locke on the permissibility of male-male intimacy" History of European Ideas (2022); see also Roger Woolhouse, Locke: A Biography (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007), 149.

Not done: 'Instil' is correct in British English, which the article uses throughout.

Inaccurate statement concerning monarchy and Adam
"Locke compared the English monarchy's rule over the British people to Adam's rule over Eve in Genesis, which was appointed by God." This sentence, with a citation to Two Treatises on Government, states the opposite of what Locke was arguing in that book. He is refuting an author who believed in absolute monarchy based on the idea that fatherhood was the basis of absolute rule and that Adam was the first father and thus the first monarch. Locke masterfully refutes this logic page after page in the book cited leading him to oppose even the idea that Adam was monarch over Eve, which is the opposite of what is stated in this article. I suggest this sentence be removed.
