Classical liberalism is a political and economic philosophy that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is rooted in the Enlightenment ideals of individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. It seeks to maximize individual freedom and minimize the role of the state, emphasizing the protection of private property, the rule of law, and the importance of individual rights.

The development of Classical liberalism occurred during a time of significant social, economic, and political change in Europe and America. The Enlightenment, with its emphasis on reason, science, and progress, provided the intellectual foundation for classical liberal thought. The American and French Revolutions were also pivotal, as they embodied the struggle against tyranny and the demand for individual rights.

A few of the key influences were:
John Locke (1632-1704): Often regarded as the "father of liberalism"
Adam Smith (1723-1790): Smith's work, particularly "The Wealth of Nations," argued for economic freedom and free markets.
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873): Mill expanded on liberal principles by emphasizing the importance of individual liberty and autonomy.

Libertarianism and classical liberalism share many core principles and are often seen as closely related. Both advocate for individual liberty, limited government, and free markets.
