“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable (can’t be taken away) Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, --.”
“1. Men are born free and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be
based only on public utility.
2. The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and
imprescriptible (not able to be neglected) rights of man. These rights are liberty,
property, security, and resistance to oppression.”

Qing Dynasty collapses
British have unbalanced trade with China (importing more than exporting) To cover debt the British
send Opium from India, but Opium was illegal in China. Britain refuses to stop trade because it is
very profitable. This leads to the Opium War (1839-1842) in which Britain defeats China. China
agrees to open five ports, limit taxes on imported British goods, and give Britain the Island of Hong
Kong. In the five ports, Europeans lived under their own laws (extraterritoriality). This beginning of
Western influence in China.
