Some rights cannot be infringed upon no matter what popular opinion or government desire might be. Many people equated and confused liberalism with that of anarchism. To clear up the confusion, it is a liberal s belief that anarchy has historically led to violence, survival of the fittest, and eventual concentrations of power. Liberals do not ask for no government but a better government. If this idea is entertained then the government itself will be a mode which the people have chosen to execute their will.
Liberalism requires a government of and for people.
This represents the path towards a better world. One of the more fundamental definitions is that liberalism os openness to progress and change. Liberalism is rooted in the idea of looking ahead instead of looking behind. For the liberal society is a free society, and it is at the same time and for that reason a strong society. Its strength is drawn from the will of free people committed to great ends and peacefully striving to meet them.
