Liberals, Radicals and Conservatives

Liberals, Radicals and Conservatives: Many social changes were taking place in Europe in the Eighteenth century. The french revolution inspired the people with the ideals of liberty, equality and justice. many people had different views about how the government should work and about the rights of people. While some people wanted about how the government should work and about the rights of people. while some people wanted the establishment of democratic principles, the others supported the monarchical form of the government. there are three main groups of people at this time were

Lberals:

One of the groups which looked to change society were the liberals.

They wanted a nation which support all religions. In 19th and 20th century, European states generally discriminated in favour of one religion or another.

Austria and Spain favoured the Catholic Church, while Britain favoured the Church of England.

They also opposed unrestricted absolute power of the monarch. They favoured religious tolerance and wanted to safeguard individual rights against governments. They argued for a representative and elected parliamentary government.

They favoured a well-trained Judiciary that was independent of rulers and officials.

They were not democrats and did not favour universal adult franchise (the right of every citizen to vote). They wanted voting rights to be given only to men not to women.

Radicals:

They supported women’s rights and organised the various suffragette movements.

Radicals wanted a nation in which the government was based on the majority of a country’s population.

Radicals opposed the privileges of the wealthy landowners and factory owners.

They were not against the existence of private property, but disliked the concentration of money in the hands of few section of society.

Conservatives:

They were opposed views and ideologies of radicals and liberals.

In the 18th century, conservatives had been generally opposed to the idea of change. But after the French Revolution, conservatives felt the need for change.

By the 19th century, conservatives accepted that some change was necessary, but believed that the past had to be respected and changes in society should be made gradually.
