Political Liberalism Vs. Political Conservatism in 19th century?

We Answered:

Well first off, this sounds like the frq question I have due tomorrow.. But I found that liberalism likes representative government, public government action, freedom of press/assembly, laissaz-faire economy and free trade. Conservatism is about preventing rapid change, if allowing any at all, and they liked absolute monarchy. (all I have so far...) hope it helped!

Feminism/liberalism vs True conservatism. What's better for people as a whole?

We Answered:

Poverty can force people to be more self-reliant. People in the past were more self-reliant because the had to be, not because they chose to be. The more people have, the more they think they need.

Economic conservatism to me is the following: staying out debt, being as self-reliant as possible, living below your means, saving and investing your money, being gainfully employed. Social conservatism to me is the following: a stable secure household with 2 married opposite gender parents, low divorce rate, stable birth rate, people taking care of their elderly, people taking care of their community.

I think the word conservative has been corrupted, but true economic and social conservatism is what our society needs.

Vocabulary test: Liberalism vs Conservatism?

We Answered:

Your text book definitions are not modern day conservatives and liberals, also liberals should be changed to progressives. Having said that,,just going by the text book questions......

1. Liberals would secede while conservatives would fear change. Conservatives would look at ALL the possible outcomes of seceding and weigh their options. They would be afraid of making things worse by letting people they don't know start their new country verses people they already know are bad, lesser of two evils. Meanwhile the liberals would blindly jump for change and not give a moments notice to the possible bad outcomes. Anyone who spoke out against their idea would be blasted as uneducated for not believing in THEIR blind ideas.

2.Liberals would be all for it, going by text book definition, even though funding for this agency could bankrupt us with absolutely nothing to show for it in the end. Conservatives would again, weigh out the pros and cons of it and be leary of spending more money on possible wasteful things.

3. Same on the last one.

Dude, the last two were hard, just going by definition, conservatives don't want anything and don't want anything to change but that is not true in modern day conservatism. Nothing for the liberalism definition is what a modern day liberal believes.
