1.	How did liberalism help to establish the concept of welfare state?
Answer» The shape of doctrine of liberalism kept on changing continuously. At the beginning, its doctrine was negative and it was in support of capitalism, but after sometime it became a strong proponent of the concept of welfare. Traditional liberalism termed the state as necessary evil but modern liberalism accepts the state as positive good (means ) for public welfare. Liberalism thinks of a person as accomplishment and state as means. The set notion of liberalism is that the inception of the state is meant for safety of rights of an individual. An individual enjoys the right to rebellion if there is a violation of the agreement. Liberalism stresses for equal opportunities and all round freedom of an individual.
