When a people is trustworthy, government will be also
You are approaching this from a very socialistic angle - Rousseau would love you for thinking that man is essentially good. Conservatives know better. That is why society, customs and norms are there to constrain man from acting bestial.
I don't know what you believe but it is not conservatism. It is touchy feely gobbledy gook which has nothing to do with reality. Thinking that any institution based on imperfect men can be "good" is beyond bizarre.
