Answer:

Burke most likely disagreed with the radical course, the French Revolution had taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burke himself was a British member of Parliament of Irish origin. He was supporter of classic liberalism but was equally admired by conservatives.

He also believed in self-determination and was critical of the British actions in the thirteen colonies.

He was also written extensively on the French Revolution and followed it for many years. While he believed in the overall cause of the movement, he did not agree with the extremist approach of the Jacobians.

In a letter, he referred to them as savage men, with very little morals if any.
