John Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.
His political philosophy was rooted in "social contract" theory. According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government </em>(1690). In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

It faced the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire, and broke out as a result of the differences between both countries regarding opium trafficking, as the Chinese wanted to prohibit this activity, that was very profitable for the British. The war began with the British Expeditionary Fleet shelling Guangdong Kowloon and finally defeating the Qing Dynasty, ending with the signing of the Treaty of Nanking, which granted European powers free access to Chinese ports. This war was the first large-scale war initiated by Western countries against China. The war opened the door to China's retreat, and marked the beginning of China's modern history.
