The conservative political party was founded under the unification agreement of the Christian National Party (until 1922 the National Christian People's Party), which had influence mainly in Eastern Lesser Poland and the former Kingdom of Poland, and the Christian National Agricultural Party, which operated in Greater Poland and Pomerania.

Both parties had been cooperating in parliament since 1922, as the Christian National Club. Tadeusz Szułdrzyński (ChNSR) became the party's president, and Stanisław Wincenty Kasznica (NChSL) became the chairman of the main board. After unification, the grouping covered the entire country.
On 11th of December 1925, the Conservative Party joined the party. The founders of the SZ, who considered the merger to be the annihilation of the party, dissociated themselves from this decision. Thanks to this merger, the SChN also gained influence in Lesser Poland and became the only party associating landed gentry in Poland.
The SChN was the largest conservative party in the Second Polish Republic. Its program contained nationalist elements. The party's activists were great opponents of socialism, which in their opinion was opposed to God, the fatherland, and property rights; they condemned the communists the most, against whom they postulated the application of emergency laws.
