Conservative Principles

British politician Benjamin Disraeli gave this speech in 1872. It details the Conservative Party’s platform, which stressed the role that the nobility, church, and House of Commons each plays in government. Disraeli also took the opportunity to criticize the actions of the Liberal Party, which had been in power for the last four years. Conservative policies soon made a comeback, as Disraeli beat out the Liberal opposition to serve as prime minister from 1874-1880.
