Study Notes
Liberal Nationalism
- Liberal nationalism emerged in early 19th-century Europe, allied with the ideology of liberalism, emphasizing individual freedom, equality before the law, and government by consent.
- It stood for the end of autocracy, clerical privileges, and the establishment of a constitution and representative government through parliament.
- Liberals also stressed the inviolability of private property, but equality before the law did not necessarily mean universal suffrage.

- The idea that societies should be organized into 'nation-states' came to be accepted as natural and universal.
