Classical Liberalism

Classical Liberalism is an Economically Right based on very free markets, moderately Libertarian, and culturally varied ideology.

It as well as Liberalism believes in the principles of equality before the law, and the basic rights of life, liberty, and property.

It could be defined as a more civically moderate version of Libertarianism and most people also consider it to be more economically moderate but they're pretty similar in economic issues.

It's considered the inspiration for most of the Lib-Right ideologies.

History
During the campaign for president of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the 30s, he started identifying along with his followers as a Liberal (That's why in The US Liberals are the Democrats while in other parts of the world Liberals are Classical Liberals), and, who at the time were considered Liberals, had to change their names to Classical Liberalism or Libertarianism to be differentiated with them, and with the pass of time and the ideas of Classical Liberalism, Libertarianism changed its meaning to a version of Classical Liberalism that wanted even less state.

But, what the term identifies nowadays was created in the early 18th century as a child of Enlightenment. He used to believe that people had an inherent right to their "Life, Liberty and Property" though he later amended that to "Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness". He also often strongly opposed landed aristocracy, struggling against Monarchism and  Reactionary.

Some time in the 19th century ClassLib became Father to Liberalism, who managed to then make the Liberal Dynasty into what it is today.

In his retirement within the 20th century, he became the father to two other ideologies, Libertarian and  National Liberalism.
