The political philosophies of liberalism and conservatism are most often on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of views on key political issues. Providing a truly accurate
definition of either term, however, is really an impossibility. While the dictionary does so, those definitions are tenuous at best. It seems that the definitions of these terms
vary not just in accordance with who you ask but also with the social circumstances in which the question is broached and even by time. When we turn to
the dictionary definition of liberalism, for example, we find the philosophy associated with: "free political
institutions and religious toleration, as well as support for a strong role of government in regulating capitalism and constructing the welfare state" (Hirsch, Kett, and Trefil).
Obviously, both liberalism and conservatism have evolved considerably over time. The contemporary liberal approach, for example, is considerably
