“Burke’s reliance on precedent should not be misconstrued as an attempt to manufacture a static society devoid of moral progress; rather, it reflects his desire to ground change in principles that ensure prudent and stable outcomes.”
“It’s unclear whether the Federalists’ framing of liberty genuinely intended to promote individual freedom or strategically sought to appease a populace wary of a return to monarchical authority.”
“Burke would critique the extended republic as exemplifying the dangers of neglecting incremental change and the absence of phronesis—Aristotelian practical wisdom.”
