Changes

The '''Whig''' party in [[Great Britain]], named for their hairpieces which survive today as the wigs worn by British [[judges]], was the forerunner of the nineteenth-century [[Liberal Party]]; it evolved from late seventeenth century politicians who supported the [[Glorious Revolution]] and the rights of [[Parliament]], while their opponents, the [[Tories]], supported the right of the Crown and the established church. Although both parties included high aristocratic families and great landowners, the Tories were seen as supporting landed interests, the Whigs as supporting trade and commerce.
