I don't know precisely where you are going but you should give more notes on the references for the quotations:
1.
Men make their own history, but not of their own free will; not under circumstances they themselves have chosen but under the given and inherited circumstances with which they are directly confronted. The tradition of the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the minds of the living.?
2. ?de-alienating form of realized democracy in which practical theory verifies itself and surveys its own actions?
As for this last reference and sentence I dont understand it - but I am not from the anglo-american part of the world.
