Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Britons seemed to have adopted "conservative" politics, it is important for the student to understand that "there was no a single uniformly accepted view held by Conservatives in the Edwardian
era but that disputes were about the direction policies took."1 Clearly, the conflict between democracy and conservatism created a blinding inconsistency with regard to the forward moving progression of
Britains political maneuvers; as such, there came a need to reassess why this discord existed in the first place, as well as how to work out a viable resolution for
all. "Conservatives always possess a clearly definable frame of reference which informs their vision of and response to issues and events. Without such a frame of reference there
would be nothing to indicate what made their views, arguments and activities Conservative."2 At issue was the fact that democracy truly
had the ability to empower both the people and the government back at the turn of the century, inasmuch as at that time Britons were heading toward being one and
the same entity under the democratic process. By reallocating the political power and distributing it evenly among both government entities and the voting public, there was created a greater
sense of fairness, accomplishment and "political vision of liberty."3 However, too many distractions were taking place in order for the democratic quest to fully take shape, leaving the conservatives
to retaliate with such forces as nationalism, imperialism and tariffs.4 The transition to democracy in Europe before 1914 was stimulated by a number
of political and economic forces, not the least of which included Fascism, the rumblings of world war and the growing influence of Nazism and Stalinist Totalitarianism. Gregory M. Luebberts
