– Radicals sought majority-based governance, supported women's suffrage, and opposed concentration of wealth in the hands of a few.
– Conservatives, though initially resistant to change, accepted the need for some change in the nineteenth century but preferred gradual transformation respecting the past.
2. Industrial Society and Social Change:
– Industrialization led to profound social and economic changes with long work hours, poor wages, and housing/sanitation issues.
– Liberals and radicals, often property owners themselves, believed in individual effort, labor, and enterprise to drive societal development and sought solutions to improve working conditions【4:0†source】.
