13 What are “Liberalism” and “Conservatism”? Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Liberalism is “a political philosophy based on belief in…the essential goodness of the human race, and on the autonomy of the individual, and (stands) for the protection of political and civil liberties.” Conservatism is “a political philosophy based tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change.”

14 Representative Ted Weiss (D, NY) “Liberals believe (that) government has an obligation to provide equal educational and job opportunities for all. To those whose survival requires economic assistance, government should extend a helping hand. Individual liberties and human rights must be safeguarded from and by government.” What are “Liberalism” and “Conservatism”? Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Liberalism is “a political philosophy based on belief in…the essential goodness of the human race, and on the autonomy of the individual, and (stands) for the protection of political and civil liberties.”

15 Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Conservatism is “a political philosophy based tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change.” What are “Liberalism” and “Conservatism”?
