Conservatism

Conservatism is indisposition to change established laws and customs that have wrought beneficially in the past and contributed to the welfare of the country. However, in practical politics, it is often a very different thing, and regarded by Carlyle in his time "a portentous enbodied sham; accursed of God, and doomed to destruction, as all lies are."
