Concentration of power in an expansive federal government is not a tenet of classical liberalism, the political philosophy that was developed during the Enlightenment and later informed the founding of the United States. The principles of classical liberalism mirror the goals of the Founding Fathers: a balance of power at the state and federal levels, participation by the people, broad interpretation of civil rights laws, and an open, and mostly capitalist economy. Classical liberalism differs from modern liberalism. The latter is a present-day political ideology that is generally applied to Democrats (in the United States). Some of the principles held by liberals vary from classical liberalism, but the nature of those variances depend on each individual.
