Changes
The original philosophy of liberalism (now sometimes called [[classical liberalism]], or [[libertarianism]] in the US), favors many forms of freedom, such as:
*[[Freedom of speech]]*[[Freedom of religion]]
*The right to form political parties and vote
*Freedom to invest in and use private property
*Free trade and freedom of migration
*Sexual freedom
*[[Equal rights ]] independent of race or sex
This interpretation of liberalism arose during the [[Enlightenment]], and became influential throught the [[American Revolution]] and [[French Revolution]], and was also spread in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the [[classical economists]]<ref>[http://www.economyprofessor.com/economictheories/economic-liberalism.php]</ref>.
