| | In politics, '''right-wing''' historically referred to a society run by natural law or tradition. It is generally synonymous with politically [[conservative]] beliefs, including economic and social conservatism, and support for a strong military and an active foreign policy. The term "right-wing," as well as "left-wing," came from the French Revolution, a reference to where people sat in parliament, although there was also a theory where the terms originated from the Book of Revelations relating to Jesus transfiguring those on his left side and right side into goats and sheep, respectively. | | In politics, '''right-wing''' historically referred to a society run by natural law or tradition.
