Conservatismus^[1] est ingenium ad res familiares conservatas, vel praesertim philosophia civilis quae, praecipue ad fides moresque definiti a religione, traditione, cultura, civitate spectans, constantiae sociali favet, instituta vetusta (et, ut liberalismo videtur, saepe obsoleta) praefert, et mutationi subitae progressum tardum anteponit. Quia variae culturae variis aestimationibus institutis favent, homines conservativi variarum culturarum fines varios habent: alii volunt conservare statum quo vel societatem emendare leniter, dum alii volunt redire ad aestimationes temporis superioris, statum quo ante.

Conservatismus philosophia politicalis est difficilis definitu, quia multos motus amplectitur, et homines conservativi aliquando inter se discrepant de partibus culturae et quae partes dignae sint ad preservandum; sic conservativi religiosi possunt dissidere a conservativis nationalisticis, quamquam privatizationem contrarie volunt. Conservativi hoc tempore socii alae dextrae putantur, plerumque communismus reprehendentes.

Conservatismus Anglicus, Toryismus appellatus, per Restorationem^? (1660–1688) ortus est. Societatem gradatam sustinebat, monarchiam a rege dominatam, qui divino regum iure regabat. Revolutio autem Gloriosa (1688), quae administrationem constitutionalem instituit, Toryismum emendavit ut nunc consideret summam rerum conlocari in tribus statibus (Anglice: estates): Regno (Anglice: Crown), Paribus, et Communibus (Anglice Commons).^[2]

Consrvatismus fiscalis est oeconomica prudentiae de arte argentaria philosophia, praecipue de rebus erogationis et aeris alieni. Edmundus Burke, in libro Reflections on the Revolution in France, de eius principiis scripsit:

[I]t is to the property of the citizen, and not to the demands of the creditor of the state, that the first and original faith of civil society is pledged. The claim of the citizen is prior in time, paramount in title, superior in equity. The fortunes of individuals, whether possessed by acquisition or by descent or in virtue of a participation in the goods of some community, were no part of the creditor's security, expressed or implied. . . . [T]he public, whether represented by a monarch or by a senate, can pledge nothing but the public estate; and it can have no public estate except in what it derives from a just and proportioned imposition upon the citizens at large.

Conservatismus viridis est schola conservatismi quae animum viridem in eius ideologiam recipit. In Regno Britanniarum, Factio Conservativa, Davide Cameron duce, agenda viridia complectitur quae volunt imponere vectigal parking automobilium officinalium spatiis, finire auctum aeroportuum, imponere vectigal vehiculis 4x4, et coercere automobilia proscripta.

Conservatismus culturalis est philosophia quae civitatis vel culturae heredium sustinet. Ea cultura potest magna, sicut cultura Occidentalis vel civilizatio Sinca, vel parva, sicut cultura Thibeti.

Conservatismus religiosus doctrinas ideologiarum separatarum sustinet, nonnumquam declarans illas doctrinas multum prodesse, nonnumquam desiderans illis doctrinis vim legitimum dare.

Multa conservatismi genera utuntur elementis aliarum ideologiarum et philosophiarum, quas conservatismus ipse vicissim impellit. In rebus publicis Occidentalibus, conservatismus et ideologia alae dextrae saepe inter se discrepant. Certe, in Occidenti, liberales laevam politicam includunt.

Factio Conservativa est factio secunda magnitudine in Britanniarum Regno.

In Iaponia, Factio Liberalis Democratica, factio conservativa, quae suffragia annos quingaginta dominata est et mutationem Constitutionis Iaponiae^[3] voluit, celerem auctum oeconomicum de mercibus exportatis deductum et una cum Civitatibus Foederatis agere in consili diplomatiae et defensionis civitatis semper sustinuit, et novissime reformationem administrativam et alias noviores res sustinet.
