Question

Explain any three beliefs of conservatism that emerged after 1815​

Answer 1

1. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society- the Church, social hierarchies, property and family- should be preserved.

2. They also realized that modernization could strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy and a return to the society of the pre-revolutionary days was not required. This could, eventually, contribute towards making state power more effective and strong.

3. The belief that abolition of feudalism and serfdom, replacing it with a modern army, an efficient bureaucracy and a strong economy could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe.
