Traditionalist conservatism in the United States is a political, social philosophy and variant of conservatism. While classical conservatism has been largely based on the philosophy and writings of Aristotle, Edmund Burke,[1] and Joseph de Maistre,[2][3] the American variant has been influenced by thinkers such as John Adams and Russel Kirk.[4][5]
Traditionalist conservatives emphasize the bonds of social order over hyper-individualism, and the defense of ancestral institutions.[1] They believe in a transcendent moral order, manifested through certain natural laws to which they believe society ought to conform in a prudent manner.[1] Traditionalist conservatives also emphasize the rule of law in protecting individuals.[1]
Traditionalist conservatism has been considered by some, to have been overshadowed by the economic conservatives, by the early 21st century. [6]
