Right-wing ideology encompasses political beliefs that generally favor tradition, hierarchy, and established institutions.
It typically emphasizes free markets, limited government intervention in the economy, individual responsibility, and preservation of cultural or religious values.
The term derives from seating arrangements in the French Revolutionary assembly, where conservatives sat on the right.
