Who is the founder of liberalism?

John Locke

Explanation:

John Locke (1632/1704) is considered the founder of liberalism. Liberalism, as an idea puts the individual at the center because the individual is the holder of guaranteed rights. The concept of liberalism is based on individual freedom and freedom of thought. Liberalism rejects the idea of diversity and puts the position of the individual in society in the background.

Liberalism, in its modern form, began to develop primarily in England. Parliamentarism  in England represented a "fertile ground" for the development of liberal ideas. Liberalism is a product of the rejection of the feudal system and other fundamental values on which the Middle Ages rested. Liberalism began to develop as early as the seventeenth century, to fully crystallize in the eighteenth. Apart from England, it is essential to mention the emergence of liberalism in France, represented by Machiavelli.
