Classic conservatism is founded by Edmund Burke. He agreed with Adam Smith that a free market was the best economic system However, he disagreed that liberalism could be applied in all circumstances. As a metter of fact, liberalism in America was easy, after the English noblemen gad been removed. On the other hand, it was very difficult to apply liberalism in France, since a large aristocratic class did not want to lose its interest. Burked added that institutions and traditions cannot be all bad, for they are the products of hundreds of years of trial and error, Therefore, Burke concluded that some good institutions and traditions should be conserved.
