and social philosophy challenged conservatism in the European continent.
❑ Liberalism demanded representative government as opposed to autocratic monarchy,
equality before the law as opposed to legally separate classes. The idea of liberty also
meant to specific individual freedoms: freedom of the press; freedom of speech,
freedom of assembly; and freedom from arbitrary arrest.
❑ Democracy became a way of life in many European countries, like Britain, Belgium, and
Switzerland.
❑ Democracy was gradually established thru the following means: promulgation of laws
that advance democracy; undertaking of reforms thru legislation; abolition of slavery;
adoption of a liberal constitution; providing the citizens the opportunity to propose
laws; adoption of manhood suffrage; and granting of political, economic and social
rights to the people.

Impact of the Bourbon Reforms
❑ The Bourbon Reforms (Castilian: Reformas
Borbonicas) were a set of economic and political
legislation promulgated by the Spanish Crown under
various kings of the House of Bourbon, mainly in
the 18th century. The strengthening of the crown's
power with clear lines of authority to officials
contrasted to the complex system of government
that evolved under the Habsburg monarchs.
❑ The Bourbon Reforms were intended to limit the
power of Creoles and re-establish Spanish
supremacy over the colonies such as the Philippines.
