bullet::::- in the united states, the primary use of the term "liberal" is at some variance with european and worldwide usage. in the united states today, it is most associated with the definition of modern liberalism, which is a combination of social liberalism, public welfare and a mixed economy, which is in contrast to classical liberalism. in the 19th century it was not a common term in american philosophy or politics, partially because the two main parties were a mixture of populist and nationalist elements. ("conservatism" was not a common term until the mid-20th century as well.) the democratic party was the party of free trade, low tariffs and laissez-faire entrepreneurialism, while the republican party advocated national citizenship, transparency and government efforts to stabilize the currency. liberalism in the united states was primarily defined by the self-proclaimed liberal presidents woodrow wilson and franklin roosevelt. while the emphasis on mutual collaboration through liberal institutions as an alternative to the threat and use of force remained consistent with international liberalism, united states liberals also claimed that individuals have a right to expect the government to guarantee social justice. this was in part a consequence of the influence of the ideas of british economist john maynard keynes on franklin d. roosevelt's new deal. the new deal had the effect of stealing the thunder of social democratic forces and the necessity to prevent social unrest strengthened this development. as the term "socialism" was (and is still) commonly perceived as communistic (as in the ideology of the ussr), many to the left of center moderated their views, aligning with the new deal liberals. the democratic party is identified as the liberal party within the broader definition of liberalism thus putting it in contrast with most other parties listed here. democrats advocate more social freedoms, affirmative action, and a mixed economy (and therefore modern liberalism). the republican party experiences a somewhat fractured economic viewpoint with some members supporting strong free-market and libertarian views (and therefore economic liberalism) and others championing pro-business stances, though both sectors typically mix their fiscal views with strong aspects of social conservatism. the libertarian party is the third largest political party in the united states, (though still only getting 1–2% of the vote in congressional elections), and particularly centers itself on free markets and individual liberty, which is more in line with classical liberalism.
