What
was the political meaning of the term ‘liberalism’ during the French
Revolution?
Answer: During the French Revolution, the term ‘liberalism’ politically
emphasised the concept of government by consent. Since the French Revolution,
liberalism had stood for the end of autocracy and clerical privileges, a
constitution and representative government through parliament.
Nineteenth-century liberals also stressed the inviolability of private
property.
