Liberalism Vs Republicanism

What Republicanism did was try to keep the peace. This was especially ture regarding slavery. Lastly, the economic growth changed america and the way everyone saw her. It brought more trade items, business, money and opportunity. Because of the continuous growth more space was needed and for that the best option was to expaned and carry out business on more property.

“The Republican Party was founded in 1854 by a group of renegade Democrats, Whigs, and political independents who opposed the expansion of Slavery into new U.S. territories and states. What began as a single-issue, independent party became a major political force in the United States. Six years after the new party was formed, Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln won the U.S. presidential election. The Republican Party and its counterpart, the Democratic Party, became the mainstays of the nation's de facto two-party system.” As stated in the free dictionary’s definition of the republican party. The Republican and Democrat parties are opposites on almost every decision they come to. The Republican party is more small government whereas the Democratic party is pro big government.

For many years the Republicans were the major party. The Republican party attracted bankers, while the Democratic party attracted working class immigrants. In the 1896 election, as stated in the text “McKinley won the election handily, his victory ushering in an era of Republican dominance in presidential politics that would last until the election of 1912.” (Harrison 256) The Republic dominance steered toward a Progressive party during Theodore Roosevelt’s time in office. Many women also supported the Republican party as they supported the Progressive movement. As time went on and the economy suffered a great deal many people favored the ideas of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

There are two major political aspects in our society today, liberals and conservatives. Both of these ideologies share a similar goal in which they both try to find solutions to the society’s issues. But the way liberals and conservatives perceive a problem and try to find solutions is what differentiates them both. Liberals tend to favor a change to promote growth, while conservatives on the other hand stick with traditions and religious values and are not in favor of a change. Although liberals and conservatives share a similar goal, they have opposing perspectives on social, economic and political issues.

Modern liberalism and modern conservatism are both extremely centrist ideologies, “In fact, US conservatism comes out of classical liberalism so the modern versions of both ideologies share deep philosophical roots” (Guide, pg. 1). These roots date back to the 17th century, extending into the early 20th century. To fully understand American politics, it is a key to understand the dominant ideologies. It is also crucial to analyze the differences and similarities between these two ideologies. This paper will first examine the origins and tenants of classical liberalism, an ideology in which both modern liberalism and modern conservatism evolved. It will later discuss the

Liberalism, formed in the latter part of the 18th Century from opposition to existing political monarchies in Europe, was based on rights of individuals and the responsibility of government to protect those rights. Conservative philosophy was born as a reaction to dangerous tendencies

For this assignment, I will compare and contrast the differences between conservative and liberal ideology in the states as well as provide supporting examples to substantiate.

America is occupied with lots of liberals and conservatives which are two distinct beliefs. These two beliefs create controversial opinions in the country economically, politically and socially. Nowadays, most important decisions people make is based on their belief reflecting which belief they would be categorized into. “Conservatives and liberals - just as Republicans and Democrats - have opposing views on several key issues” (Squadrin, 5). Liberals tend to consider everyone’s voices and opinions while conservatives tend to listen to what they want to hear.

The Liberal Tradition started as a late 18th-century philosophy based on Lockean ideals and devoted to individualism. Classical Republicanism, which came from ancient philosophers, like Aristotle, emphasizes on the public good. When US government began, the Framers took pieces of these philosophies and bound them together. The separate branches, which has both liberal and republican principles, serves a historic example of the Framers work. Today, the Liberal Tradition and Classical Republicanism still coexist in our government. An example of these philosophies coexisting in the government is the representation of parties in the Senate.

Republicanism is the belief of being a citizen in a country in which the people are the authority of their particular state and the entire country’s government is created and sustained by the consent of them, through their elected representatives. “The government should be bound by fixed laws, which the people have a voice in making, and a right to defend." said John Adams at the Virginia Convention. In our country, we have voted for 435 Representatives and 100 Senators to help make our nation’s laws. Republicanism has been a major part of American civic since its founding. It stresses liberty and unalienable rights as central values, giving people power as a whole, rejects upper class and inherited political power, expects citizens to be independent

"The government has always been seen as a necessity in modern society. Many liberals and even conservatives have argued for more government control than America currently has. Libertarianism is a combination of liberalism and conservatism with a very extreme view on how little government America should have. Conservatarianism is the combination of all three political parties: democratic, republican, and libertarian. To sum it up, the conservatarian movement is a less extreme libertarianism version.

Liberals believe in government assistance to solve problems. The government’s job is to protect its citizens’ rights and the civil liberties. It is also to ensure that no citizen is in need and provide the equality for all humans. In regards to abortion, liberals believe in women’s right of choice. They don’t view a fetus as human life, not granting it separate rights. They also believe that abortions should be funded by taxpayer dollars, if the mother cannot afford it (Editors of Student News Daily).

These past few weeks we as a class have read and discussed so many different political ideologies including liberalism and socialism. According to John Rawls’s theory of justice for a liberal society, liberalism can be seen as the interpretation of two principles, where the goal is to make the person who is worst of better on distributive shares and also to attempt to even out class barriers, school system be it public or private. Rawls's starts with the idea that citizens do not deserve to be born into a rich or a poor family, to be born naturally more or less gifted than others, to be born female or male, to be born a member of a particular racial group All social goods are to be distributed equally, unless an unequal distribution would be to everyone's advantage. Whereas socialism is similar where they want everyone to be equal, to have equal amounts, and to the rid a society of a free market. Socialism’s intent is to only have those consuming producing.

Realism and Liberalism is one of the most important theoretical approaches to the study of international studies. As for realism, it has been argue that realism is not just a simple perspective, as it is actually a complex area of debate rather than just single specific of point. In Realism, we can identify such classic and specific versions, some realist who call themselves as neo-realist or structural realist, and so on. As for Liberalism, its history goes back to when the scholars tried to come up with a new theory that could end the despair of the First World War. Liberalism starts to take up the world politics after the fall of Idealism after the Second World War as they have more pessimistic view of the world politics. Both of these theories

The terms ‘socialism’ and liberalism’ are used a lot nowadays, and many people often mistake one for the other. In order to differentiate between these two terms, one must keep in mind the clear-cut differences by defining the prevailing ideology of each term. The tenets of socialism assert that the state should wield total economic power by manipulating prices of goods and wages of workers.
