john Locke was forced to flee to Holland in 1682 due to his opposition to the policies of King James II of England, particularly the king's attempts to promote Catholicism and centralize power. Locke's political writings, which advocated for individual rights and government by consent, put him at odds with the increasingly authoritarian regime. Fearing persecution for his views and potential arrest, he sought refuge in the more tolerant environment of the Dutch Republic, where he continued his philosophical work.
