the 19th century political spectrum
equality, liberty, tradition correspond with: radical, liberal/moderate, conservative
the extent to which people believed in equality and liberty and tradition in economics, politics, and society defines where they are on this spectrum
conservative: embrace traditional values, having a monarch,
liberal/moderate: mainly focused on liberty’; want to be able to do things - tied a little to tradition (often business men)
radical: embrace ideas of democracy and the ideas of republics
