Why Conservatives Are Called The “Right” And Liberals Are Called The “Left”

I have often wondered why it is that the Conservatives are called the “Right” and the Liberals are called the “Left.”

By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:

Ecclesiastes 10:2-3 (New International Version)

2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

3 Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is.

And now you know!
