'''Crown Liberalism''' is a semi-{{wp|liberalism|liberal}} philosophy and political ideology originating in [[Urcea]] based on {{wp|consent of the governed}}, {{wp|Reform movement|gradual reform}}, and the establishment of a government "guided by but not limited to" non-elected authorities such as the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] or [[Catholic Church]]. Crown Liberalism is considered to be {{wp|fusionist}}, embracing core liberal principles such as the {{wp|social contract}} and {{wp|individual rights}} while accepting the necessity of public stability and opposing political {{wp|radicalism}}. It is similar to [[Organicism]] | '''Crown Liberalism''' is a semi-{{wp|liberalism|liberal}} philosophy and political ideology originating in [[Urcea]] based on {{wp|consent of the governed}}, {{wp|Reform movement|gradual reform}}, and the establishment of a government "guided by but not limited to" non-elected authorities such as the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] or [[Catholic Church]]. Crown Liberalism is considered to be {{wp|fusionist}}, embracing core liberal principles such as the {{wp|social contract}} and {{wp|individual rights}} while accepting the necessity of public stability and opposing political {{wp|radicalism}}. It is similar to [[Organicism]] in application inasmuch as Crown Liberalism emphasizes reform and continuity, but major disagreements between Crown Liberalism and Organicism exist on basic issues such as {{wp|social contract}} and class distinctions, as Crown Liberalism is viewed by many to be a definitively {{wp|bourgeoisie}} ideology. The philosophy has been described by the [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] scholar [[P. G. W. Gelema]] "a movement aimed at creating the maximum degree of liberty and mobility for the individual and the family with the minimum degree of instability". | ||
In terms of its philosophical origin, Crown Liberalism has largely been traced back to {{wp|absolutist}} notions in [[Urcea]] regarding the {{wp|social contract}} between the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic King]] and [[Urcean people]]. Philosophers and scholars have noted that Crown Liberalism's primary argument is that the Apostolic King was given authority from above and from a social contract to rule [[Urcea]], and that the [[Constitution of Urcea]] ultimately originates as an irrevocable free grant from the Crown that modifies the social contract. This theory of governance was best expressed in the [[Great Bull of 1811]]. | |||

Crown Liberalism finds its origins in the late 18th century in the period immediately following the [[War of the Caroline Succession]]. The introduction of liberal thought was of great interest to young high society [[Social class in Urcea|optimates]], who began to patronize liberal philosophers and thinkers. With this patronage came specific thoughts from optimate families, integrating ideas from [[Culture_of_Urcea#Politics_and_statecraft|traditional Urcean political thought]] to create a brand of liberalism specific to [[Urcea]]. Though optimates were responsible for the initial introduction and spread of Crown Liberal thought, by the 1780s a new wage of [[Social class in Urcea|privilegiata]] from the city, partly influenced by mercantile ties to the emerging liberal [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] principalities, pushed it forward. Several of these privilegiata, who belonged to the highest ranks of that class, were members of the [[Concilium Daoni]]. In [[1791]], they established the "National Pact for the Settlement of the Constitution", a political club supporting continued development of the [[Constitution of Urcea]]. This club would become the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]], Urcea's oldest political party and the first Crown Liberal party. | Crown Liberalism finds its origins in the late 18th century in the period immediately following the [[War of the Caroline Succession]].
