Conservatives favor which of the following? A. strong opposition to communism and strict regulation of the economy B. traditional values and less active government C. extensive social programs D. the clear separation of church and state

The correct answer is B. Conservatives favor traditional values and less active government.

Explanation:

Conservatism is a political position within the spectrum of the center right and right, which favors less state interference in economic and political matters, and the maintenance of traditionalist political positions, often in accordance with religious mandates.

Conservatives generally seek less progressive social positions than their liberal contenders, generally speaking out against abortion, drug legalization, and even, in certain cases, same-sex marriage.

In addition, in economic matters, conservatives seek a lesser presence of the state in both market regulation and tax collection, focusing in this sense on greater economic freedom for citizens.

A clear exponent of political conservatism in America is the Republican Party.
