Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Burkean conservative would prioritize the importance of tradition, stability, and gradual change over radical innovation. However, they are not necessarily opposed to all change, especially if it is driven by popular demand and widespread support. Therefore, the best option would be to support the project if there is evidence of popular demand and support. Option D represents this viewpoint. Option A suggests a reluctance to try again based on past failures, which may be seen as a conservative impulse, but not necessarily a Burkean one. Option B suggests blind experimentation, which is contrary to the gradualism advocated by Burkean conservatism. Option C suggests an eagerness to import foreign ideas, which may not align with the emphasis on tradition and rootedness.
