Answer:
The French Revolution gave powerful expression to this belief, and the early Industrial Revolution and advances in science reinforced it. The resulting rationalist politics embraced a broad segment of the political spectrum, including liberal reformism, trade-union socialism (or social democracy), and ultimately Marxism. In the face of this constant rationalist innovation, conservatives often found themselves forced to adopt a merely defensive role, so that the political initiative lay always in the other camp.

The 19th century, both as a political ideology and as a program of unique parties aligned with conservative interests, was in many respects antithetical to conservatism.
- In parallel to conservatism in Britain, a form of conservatism had grown in France. It was inspired by men's counter enlightenment works, and many continental conservatives did not advocate church and state separation.
- The separation was not advocated as most promoted state recognition and partnership with the Catholic Church, as existed before the Revolution in France.
- The rejection of secularism of revolution, the support for the position of the Catholic Church and the restoration of the monarchy remained the focus of conservatism.
- In the 1870s, the monarchist cause was about to triumph, but then crashed because the proposed king declined to unfurl the tri-colored flag.
- However, enlightenment produced a conventional belief in prospect of enhancing a belief in the human condition, a change concept and a rationalistic willingness to exploit or discard established institutions or practises in pursuit of that goal.
- T he French Revolution articulated this conviction strongly, and it was fortified by the early Industrial Revolution and developments in science.
