Liberalism
Political liberalism: individual liberties, limited government, tolerance, equality before the law.
Political liberalism — distinct from economic liberalism — defends individual rights, civil liberties, and limits on state power. From Locke and Constant to Rawls, liberalism finds in civic republicanism and constitutional democracy its natural complements. Revista Conciencia Democrática publishes analysis and essays at that intersection.
