A very important point about conservatism is that it emphasizes the value of tradition, social stability, and gradual change rather than radical or revolutionary shifts. Conservatives believe that societal institutions, such as family, religion, and community, play a crucial role in maintaining order and moral values. They argue that changes should be made cautiously and incrementally to preserve the social fabric and avoid unintended consequences.

in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative and a man who said very little.
Coolidge restored public confidence in the White House after the scandals of his predecessor's administration and left office with considerable popularity. As a Coolidge biographer put it, "He embodied the spirit and hopes of the middle class, could interpret their longings and express their opinions.

The UK Conservative Party served with the Liberals in an all-party coalition government during World War I, and the coalition continued under Liberal PM David Lloyd George (with half of the Liberals) until 1922. Then Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin led the break-up of the coalition and the party governed until 1929, when it was defeated by Labour in a close election. In 1931, following the collapse of the Labour minority government, it entered another coalition, which was dominated by the Conservatives with some support from fractions of both the Liberals and Labour party (National Labour and Liberal Nationals).
