Edmund Burke was a philosopher and political theorist who believed a number of things. * One of his quotes was "I have no fixed doctrine and believe in compromise and flexibility". * He believed in the value of opposition politics, that is, another party that would serve as a watchdog for the party in power at any given time, to ensure that corruption did not govern. * Born in Dublin, Ireland, to a Protestant father and a Roman Catholic mother, Burke was critical of Britain's harshness in its imperialistic drive, yet at the same time, he believed the British parliamentary system was superior to any other. He also believed that any constitutional government should be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances, nationally and/or globally. * He applied his Christian beliefs to his theories, stating that the Biblical precedent of man's relationship with God should govern legislation. There was inherent wisdom in God's covenant with man. Burke believed that the government was duty-bound to provide a positive, moral framework for society. * Burke was against the French Revolution. He believed that governments should be founded on Law and Order, whereas the French Revolution created chaos.
