  Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Political liberalism is the belief that individuals are the basis of law and society, and that society and its institutions exist to further the ends of individuals, without showing favor to those of higher social rank.
Most political parties which identify themselves as liberal claim to promote the rights and responsibilities of the individual, free choice within an open competitive process, the free market, and the dual responsibility of the state to protect the individual citizen and guarantee their liberty.
In terms of international politics, the universal claims of human rights which liberalism tends to endorse are disputed by rigid adherants of non-interventionism, since intervention in the interests of human rights can conflict with the sovereignty of nations.

 James Madison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Known as the "Father of the Constitution," he played a leading role in the creation of the United States Constitution in 1787 and, with Alexander Hamilton, was the chief expounder of its meaning in the Federalist Papers (1788).
Working closely with Thomas Jefferson, he created the Democratic-Republican Party in the mid-1790s and built a movement of grass roots political activism that was victorious in the "Revolution of 1800." As Jefferson's Secretary of State he handled the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation's size, and tried to avoid war with Britain and France.
In this capacity, he became a prominent figure in Virginia state politics, helping to draft their declaration of religious freedom and persuading Virginia to give their northwestern territories (consisting of most of modern-day Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois) to the Continental Congress.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Noble W. Jones (ca. 1723-1805)
Called the "Morning Star of Liberty," Noble W. Jones was prominent among Georgia's Whig leaders before and during the American Revolution, serving in both the provincial and state legislatures and in the Continental Congress.
During the early national period he turned away from politics and made a laudable record as a progressive physician and Savannah civic leader.
The year he married, Jones began his political career with election to the Commons House of Assembly, the lower house of Georgia's provincial legislature, where he would serve until 1775.

And it does mean abandoning the recent tendency of traditional liberals to place defense or expansion of government programs at the top of their agenda, even if they no longer promote the goals they were originally designed to achieve or reflect the values they were originally intended to vindicate.
For decades, political conservatives have prospered simply by critiquing the big government excesses and cultural eccentricities of traditional liberals.
