Conservatives believe that communities can provide a framework for the natural change that they believe should be the true path to progress, and that communities can provide a counterforce against concentrated power within government (Dunn, iii). Therefore, community must be at the top of a list of core conservative principles, and community is third in this list of ten principles of conservatism (Dunn, iii). Conservatives believe that within the community there are private and voluntary organizations that people can join and be a part of and that can help humans grow and prosper (Dunn, iii). This insight reveals why conservatives can see community as such an important part of individuals' lives. The fourth item in this list of principles for conservatives is that divinity usually appears somewhere (Dunn, iii). A deity on the list may be there because of religious faith or at least because conservatives adhere to traditional moral values ​​and distrust human nature (Dunn, iii). Recognizing God as a higher power makes both man and government not free but, instead, ultimately accountable to Him for their actions (Dunn, iii). Including God will place natural and divine law in a superior position to human laws, which is a way to prevent human nature from having free reign. When there are laws that humans seek to implement that are contradictory to divine law, conservatives can hold a debate to challenge the validity of the proposed laws. The fifth standard is that personal duty and responsibility outweigh individual rights (Dunn, iii-iv). Conservatives argue that citizens would become more passive and expect more action from the government instead of understanding what they want... middle of paper... The future of conservatism.
