Conservatives were formerly often referred to as "Tories," a term that originated in 17th-century England. The Tories were associated with the royalist supporters of King James II and later the monarchy, advocating for traditional institutions and values. In the United States, the term "Federalists" was used in the late 18th century to describe those who supported a strong central government, aligning with conservative principles of the time.
