Next, authoritative LDS scripture is examined to reveal classical liberal and conservative tenets inherent therein. Specifically, three relevant political concepts from the Book of Mormon are scrutinized: freedom and rights, equality and classism, and the nature of man. Also, Section 134 of the Doctrine and Covenants--which defines the proper role of government, the proper role of citizens, and the importance of religious freedom--is explored.
