As I understand it, "Liberalism" is a catchall phrase that means a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise. This philosophy is prevalent in the West as opposed to other political philosophies that exist around the world today. Not to be confused with the liberal and conservative parties that represent the general political spectrum within that scope.

@PatKirby What are civil liberties? Would the right to bare arms be a civil liberty? The US has a lot of regulations and laws, and the government is involved in just about everything.
