You will get a variety of answers to this question, some more biased than others. Liberals will argue about the innate evil of corporations and capitalism, the place our country has in the world, and protection of minorities and other oppressed groups. Conservatives will argue that individual rights and personal liberty, both economic and social, must not be interfered with by governments or any authoritative body. I feel it boils down to a difference in the view of human nature. Liberals believe that people are fundamentally good for the most part. Conservatives believe that people are fundamentally flawed. The majority of the differences in their respective policies and rhetoric stem from this difference.
Answer this question… a pragmatic approach to politics.

I am dead serious when I say that Conservatives earn the money; Liberals spend it and more. Wish it weren't so, but it is.
The difference between liberalism and mercantilism is economics driving politics v.s. politics driving economics. The liberals view of economics and politics as discrete, and very different. Mercantilists grant primacy through politics within the exclusion of all else. That's the real difference--ideological, not economical.
Following the Congress of Vienna, a main difference between French conservatives and liberals was their approach to governance and societal structure. Conservatives sought to maintain traditional monarchies and social hierarchies, emphasizing stability and order, often advocating for a return to pre-revolutionary norms. In contrast, liberals championed individual rights, political freedoms, and representative government, pushing for reforms that would limit the power of the monarchy and promote civil liberties. This ideological divide reflected broader tensions in post-Napoleonic Europe regarding authority and progress.
