What Does a Political Disagreement Look Like?

Before liberalism burst on to the scene, societies determined levels of political legitimacy with very different methods than we do to day. Pre liberal societies often inform their political process through things like divine revelation and ritual pure authoritarianism. People got fed up with this type of society and put their heads together in the enlightenment to try to come up with some better criteria to base our political decisions on. These criteria and the pos s they naturally arrive at have come to be known as liberalism. Liberalism primarily aims to do away with the authoritarianism and divine revelation of the past and replace it instead with things like limited government,. equality, freedom of expression, secular science and rational debate.
