On the political spectrum, it's liberal. It's left of center. But in American politics, it's neutral. It's exactly middle of the aisle. That's because as a democratic republic, the entire United States' form of government is well to the left of center. The further left you go on the political spectrum, the more power is "liberally" disseminated to the many, and the further right you go, the more it is "conserved" to the few, and in the extreme, to only one. That's actually what the terms "liberal" and "conservative" refer to in political science -- distribution of power. Any form of government that uses free elections by the masses is automatically liberal and well left of center. So when you hear those terms used in American politics, it's relative to America's already liberal, leftward position on the political spectrum as established by the US Constitution.

It was Liberal for that time period. However, that Term doesnt mean .the same as all the Prrogressives that call themselves Liberals. Those are the people who LOVE Government involvement in everything when old Liberals disagree.- And then you have idiots that think Communism is HIP and Cool. Pretty much tells you the capacity for which they limited.

Today's "lib/con" dynamic isn't captured within the original more libertarian intent.

It would probably be best described as on the conservative side of moderate. Like most things in life its a shade of grey and does not exist at one extreme or the other!

Conservative- but not conservative enough. We need the death penalty for misdemeanors.

Considering who put it together and the fact there was really no such designation as 'liberal' back then, I would say conservative. The constitution puts a lot of power in the hands of the state. The Framers, for the most part, believed in states' rights and limited federal government.
