Liberal or conservative? The iconic political principles we all love and hate today, compose the greatest discrepancy throughout the enlightenment era.   After the dramatic revolution happened in France, when the authority has been challenged by the ordinaries, when the king is no longer on the throne, people of Europe start to recognize the importance of freedom, the rights of being independent. They demanded a CHANGE! But what kind of change do they actually needed as a Society? Well, Philosophers like Edmund Burke and Percy Shelley, two famous scholars have shared their ideal vision of a nation in writing. Though both Burke and Shelley desire a world of liberty, where every man can have the rights to participate in government and deciding his own faith, Burke prefers a society which honors the tradition from the past, and prohibited any abstract theories to take control over the government, while Shelley was much more enthusiastic about the imagination  from individuals and believes it is those evanescent emotions from our heart create the ultimate harmony for the world.
