Changes

The term "liberal" comes from the aftermath of the French Revolution, where it meant someone who advocated more powerful elected assemblies.

The term “liberal” was first used in reference to a political opinion c. 1801 A.D., in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when it meant "tending in favor of freedom and democracy"—at that time the liberal party was the party of individual political freedoms. <ref>Etymology [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=liberal]</ref>

"Liberal" today means the disfavoring of individual responsibility in favor of collectivism or egalitarianism.  Liberals tend to prefer equality in result rather than increased opportunities that can result in unequal results.
