New political ideologies developed from 1750-1900

Nationalism- faith in a unified nation of like-minded people
Conservatism- the thought that time-honored monarchical traditions were a better guarantee of a peaceful society versus the Enlightenment ideas of constitutions and republics
Romanticism- philisophical and artistic movement that glorified nature, emotion, and the imagination... kind of like stereotypical hippies...
                                               (example of romanticism^^)
Deism- understanding God's existence as separate from holy books, divine providence, revealed religion, prophecy, and miracles
Liberalism- humans have rights and government authority is not absolute
Republicanism- the belief that a nation should be ruled as a republic where the leader is elected by the people versus hereditary right
Toleration (tolerant pluralism)- belief that hatred or fear of other races or beliefs interfered with trade relations, exterminated freedom of thought and expression, disintegrate basis for friendship among nations, and led to persecution and war
