An overall good presentstion of traditional conservatism, but what is meant by an organic society is a bit different in traditional conservatism than what Durkheim meant. Organic society or Organicism is the idea of that society is best understood as an organism were each class make up different parts. What effects one, effects the whole organism. Our duty towards society arise out of them being part of ourselves. This include the dead, the living and the unborn. The King isn’t simply the King but our King. When his family prosper we share in their Joy like how we share in the Joys of our children, parents, siblings, friends and so on. Likewise, when the people suffer, the King is outraged as they are his people. This is as opposed to the liberal theory of Social contract theory where the state and society is a contract between the individual and rulers where certain rights and duties are agreed upon.
