The basic principle of liberalism is :

  • A.Individual freedom
  • B.Social justice
  • C.Equality
  • D.Nationalism

Answer: A

The basic principle of liberalism is individual freedom.

Liberalism, from Locke to Mill, places the freedom of the individual at the centre: government exists to protect individual rights to life, liberty and property, and its power must be limited and based on consent.

Social justice and equality are emphasised by modern (social) liberals and by socialists, but as conditions for freedom rather than the foundation, and nationalism is a separate ideology that liberalism has sometimes allied with.
