how was liberalism take differently by different people in Europe​

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, liberalism in Europe is a political movement that supports a broad tradition of individual liberties and constitutionally-limited and democratically accountable government. These European derivatives of classical liberalism are found in centrist movements and parties as well as some parties on the centre-right and the centre-left.

Liberalism in Europe has a different meaning from the signification it has in contemporary politics in the US.[1] In America, liberals might be confused with leftists which advocate for a larger government, some forms of protectionism and more economic interventionism;[2] whereas European liberals usually favor limited government, free-trade and adhere to economic liberalism.[1]
