Liberalism is a political and philosophical ideology that emphasizes individual rights, freedoms, and the rule of law.
Rooted in Enlightenment principles, liberalism advocates for limited government intervention in personal and economic matters, promoting equality, democracy, and protection of civil liberties.
Economic liberalism supports free-market capitalism. Social liberalism focuses on social justice and equal opportunities.
Liberalism has various manifestations across the political spectrum, with classical liberalism prioritizing minimal government interference, while modern liberalism may endorse a more active role for government in addressing social issues and economic inequality.
