What are the main differences between Liberals and Conservatives?
Historically, liberals have advocated change and progress, while conservatives have wanted to preserve institutions and traditions. But to really understand the difference between the two philosophies today, it’s necessary to understand the modern definition of conservative and the modern definition of liberal. It’s also important to understand the difference between classical liberalism and modern liberalism. Unlike centuries past, the disagreement between conservatives and liberals can no longer be reduced to an argument over progress. Essentially, the political debate today between conservatives and liberals is a disagreement about the 6 fundamental principles that comprise each school of thought.
