Some key individuals who have ideas that conservatives in the United States generally agree with include:
When:
Like I said, conservatives hope to keep relatively the same. In the U.S., how the United States was set up (i.e. late 1700s) is a key era. Most political philosophers conservatives agree with were present and were key members of the French Revolution (1790s).
Why:
The basic phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" sums it up about right!
