The **Conservative Movement** in the United States is a political and social ideology focused on preserving traditional institutions, values, and customs while advocating for limited government intervention, individual liberties, a free-market economy, and a strong national defense. It emerged prominently in the mid-20th century as a response to liberal policies such as the New Deal and social changes during the 1960s and 1970s. The movement seeks to uphold core principles including liberty, rule of law, adherence to the U.S. Constitution, and belief in God, reflecting the ideals of the Founding Fathers[1][3][6][7]. Historically, the movement coalesced from a coalition of libertarians, traditionalists, and anti-communists who opposed expansive federal government and liberal economic policies. William F. Buckley Jr., a foundational figure, shaped movement conservatism through his 1951 book *God and Man at Yale* and by founding *National Review* magazine in 1955, which became the intellectual platform advocating anti-communism, pro-business policies, and social conservatism. Early conservatism had controversial elements, including support for segregation, but also included efforts toward reform on issues like labor discrimination and welfare[2][10]. Key achievements of the movement include its transformation of the Republican Party, culminating in Ronald Reagan's presidency, which implemented tax cuts, deregulation, and a strong anti-communist foreign policy. The movement’s grassroots activism, involving diverse groups like businessmen, evangelicals, and libertarians, helped build a durable political coalition that significantly influenced American governance from the late 20th century onward[5]. Today, the Conservative Movement continues to evolve with factions ranging from traditionalists to national conservatives. Organizations like the Edmund Burke Foundation promote national conservatism as a serious intellectual alternative to libertarianism and racialist politics, emphasizing public policy, economics, and political theory in line with modern nationalist trends[8].
