Hope it helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Government that John Locke opposed the notion of an absolute monarchy. The idea behind classical liberalism was in conflict with the tradition of monarchy rule because in a monarchy the choice of a leader was predetermined and not based on the people's will, but rather the individual's blood-line.
