Understanding Liberalism: Key Concepts and Historical Context

Liberalism is a political philosophy emphasizing individual rights, liberty, and equality, rooted in Enlightenment ideals. It evolved from classical liberalism, championing free markets and minimal government, to social liberalism, advocating state intervention for social welfare. Prominent thinkers, including Locke and Mill, shaped liberalism's principles, influencing democratic revolutions and debates on individual freedom.
