Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde muhafazakârlık

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde muhafazakârlık, sınırlı hükûmet ve eyalet hakları (adem-i merkeziyetçilik) olarak adlandırılan, Amerikan geleneklerini, cumhuriyetçiliği ve eyaletlerle ilgili olarak sınırlı federal hükûmet gücünü karakteristik olarak öncelik hâline getiren politik ve sosyal bir felsefedir. Tipik olarak Hristiyan değerlerini,^[1] ahlaki evrenselciliği,^[2] Amerikan istisnacılığını^[3] ve bireyciliği destekler.^[4] Genellikle güçlü bir ulusal savunmayı, silah haklarını, serbest ticareti^[5] ve Batı kültürünü komünizm,^[6] sosyalizm ve ahlaki göreciliğin oluşturduğu tehditlere karşı korumayı savunur.^[7]

Amerikalı muhafazakârlar genellikle bireysel özgürlüğü muhafazakâr değerlerin sınırları içinde demokrasinin temel özelliği olarak görürler.^[8]^[9] Genellikle federal hükûmet ile eyaletlerin hakları arasında bir dengeye inanırlar. Bazı sağ liberterlerin dışında, Amerikalı muhafazakârlar, hükûmetin meşru yargı yetkisi içinde olduğuna inandıkları alanlarda, özellikle ulusal savunma ve kolluk kuvvetlerinde güçlü eylemden yana olma eğilimindedirler. Çoğu dindar olan sosyal muhafazakârlar genellikle kürtaja, sivil birlikteliklere ve eşcinsel evliliğe karşı çıkmaktadır. Genellikle devlet okullarında Hristiyan duasını ve özel Hristiyan okulları için devlet finansmanını tercih ederler.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ndeki çoğu siyasi ideoloji gibi, muhafazakârlık, aristokrat ve monarşik hükûmeti reddeden ve 1776 ABD Bağımsızlık Bildirgesi'nin "tüm insanların eşit yaratıldığı, Yaratıcıları tarafından onlara devredilemez belirli özellikler bahşedildiği" ilkelerini destekleyen cumhuriyetçilikten kaynaklanır. Bunlar arasında yaşam, özgürlük ve mutluluğun peşinde olma hakkı ve hukukun üstünlüğü esasına dayanan federal bir cumhuriyet kuran ABD Anayasası'nın sunduğu haklar vardır. Muhafazakâr felsefe de kısmen, laissez-faire ekonomisini (yani ekonomik özgürlük ve deregülasyon) savunan 18. ve 19. yüzyılların klasik liberalizm geleneğinden türemiştir.^[14]^[15]
