According to Wikipedia, the principles that Peel laid down in his Tamworth Manifesto were:
| • | Acceptance of the Reform Act (1832) as "a final and irrevocable settlement of a great constitutional question" |
| • | A promise that the Conservatives would undertake a "careful review of institutions, civil and ecclesiastical" |
| • | "the correction of proved abuses and the redress of real grievances", where there was a case for change |
| • | A review of church reform, in order to preserve the "true interests of the Established religion" |
| • | Basically, that the Conservatives would "reform to survive" |
| • | Despite the above, Peel opposed what he saw as unnecessary change, fearing "a perpetual vortex of agitation" |
