The Union was formed to function as a counter to conservatism. The British system was one of extreme conservatism, with its monarchial system of absolute rejection and exclusion of anyone not born into the royal family. If you read the Declaration of Independence, the entire list of things consists of refusals, rejections, denials and exclusions. Of course, rejection itself is an injury. When you murder someone, you reject their existence, you exclude them from life and you deny them liberty. Because our founders so-much despised England and its ways, they formed this counter-system with every aspect of its design intended to eliminate conservatism within the Union and form a counter to conservatism in general.

I don't know why conservatives are conservative. Maybe it's nature, maybe nurture, maybe a simple case of personal profit (which, of course, in conservatism is always at the expense of someone and therefore is simultaneously a profit and an injury). Whatever the case is, the Union will certainly drive out all things conservative, aside from the single cancelling-out method of rejecting certain kinds of injury. If you look at the 200-year history of the Union, it is filled almost entirely of liberal triumphs. The few cases of conservative resurgence are short-lived and all of their installed devices are soon-after deleted.

People often think liberalism and conservatism are forms of measurement. That kind of thing though is entirely incidental. A product of, for example, allowing a broader, less precise measurement. It's really though, a matter of allowance. Liberalism, of course, should always be practiced side-by-side with justice, that way, correct is there without any advantage to using conservatism.
