I'll have a look - unfortunately that's purely from memory of studying it at A-level, so it may take some hunting

comment To what can we trace the idea of “civic responsibility”?
The earliest example in my personal knowledge is the ancient Greek "polis", but there may well be earlier examples of civic responsibility.

comment What is the basic structure of British Politics?
Don't forget that if a policy is too unpopular, or the whips ride too roughshod over MPs they can rebel - this has occurred in the past, and can bring down a government.

comment What is the origin of the English Ship Building Philosophy?
Apart from the cites issue which you note, you use a lot of jargon, presumably Marxist in origin, which you do not explain. This makes your answer much harder to interpret for the general reader.

comment Did the Gallic army besieged in Alesia conduct itself well when expecting relief?
Added point - internal division. If those inside Alesia represented Vercingetorix's personal power base, and the relieving force were allies, he may have felt it necessary to keep his own force reasonably intact, lest he lose all influence amongst other Gauls in the aftermath of victory.
