from Britain. • Felt Society had developed
gradually over time and should in no way be changed radically by the current generation.
• Government control was necessary as it represented the needs of the present, past, and future.
Classical Conservatism
• Government should represent the
past present and future.
• Society should by hierarchical.
• Limited electorate.
• Leaders should be humanitarian.
• Stability is all important.
Burke
• Distrusted the French revolution.• Educated members of society need to run
institutions to control irrational elements. • Burke did not support any tyranny and was
thus a fan of the American Revolution of the French Revolution.
• Burke felt that uneducated people should have no place or say in government.
• If given to the “Geneal will of the people” society would become mediocre and non functioning.
