Concept Explanation
 

Liberal Nationalism

Liberal nationalism emerged as a significant ideology in 19th-century Europe, closely linked to the ideals of liberalism and the push for national unity. This ideology was championed by the rising middle classes who sought individual freedoms and equality under the law.

  • At its core, liberalism advocated for the freedom of the individual and equal rights for all citizens. This included the demand for universal suffrage, or the right to vote, which was a key aspect of liberal movements across Europe. However, it's important to note that initially, these political rights were often limited to property-owning men, excluding women and those without property from participation in the political process. For example, in France, only property-owning individuals were granted the right to vote and stand for election.
