Essay / Conservatism - 1015
In the 19th century, the natural order of conservatism was challenged by new ideologies such as Marxism and liberalism. Conservatism was the norm and dominated Europe at the time, so of course people were going to challenge monarchs because of their disagreement with the way they governed. So I'm here to show why conservatism is better for countries than liberal ideas. I will also give sufficient reasons why conservative limits on voting rights should not change and why these limits are best for a country. Conservatism believes in strong central leadership such as monarchs. Thus, the only people who rule and make decisions are a privileged handful who include the king and the elites entrusted by the king and who are mainly made up of male owners. I believe this is how a country functions properly because a handful of people make all the decisions and this small group is educated and knows what is best for the country. These elites are able to make these decisions, unlike the farmers who only work in the field. Conservatism also has strong church leadership that guards monarchs to make the best decisions. This is ideal for a country because God has led his people to a prosperous life and kept them safe throughout history, so there is no need to abandon them. Church leaders are the only ones who know what God wants for the nation, because that is what they do for a living. Interpret God’s word and pray to Him for answers and guidance. It makes perfect sense for the Church to work hand in hand with monarchs to do what is best for the country. With this select group of leaders running the nation, it sets limits and limits are good for the government. It sets clear lines on what should be done and how... middle of paper ... helps the country produce better goods. If I were a farmer, I would be perfectly happy not to have this significant stress but rather to have to rely on someone who is equipped to handle this stress. I would already be stressed enough from working on my crops and I wouldn't want anything else on my plate. This is why voting limits for only male property owners with the right to vote should remain in place and not change so that everyone has the right to vote the way liberals want. With liberalism coming to light in this period of great power of monarchs, I will shed a little light on just a few elements that show why conservatism is the best path for a nation. Conservatism has long been the norm, and rightly so. I rejected some liberal views and had reasons why they should be rejected. I also showed why current voting limits should remain in place..
