Four statements by Enlightenment philosophers. The first reads, When a monarchy is once bitten to the quick, by those Democratical writers... it wants nothing more than a strong monarch, which nevertheless out of... fear of being strongly governed... they abhor. The second statement says, By pursuing his own interest, he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. The third reads, You are free at all times, in all places, as soon as you do what you wish to do. And the fourth says, The liberty of man in society is to be under no other legislative power but that established by consent in the commonwealth.

Answer:

Hi your question is not clear but i believe you are asking which of the statements is true/correct

The second statement is correct and true B ( 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

By pursing his own interest, he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.

this quote/ phrase was made by a famous philosopher that goes by the name Adam smith in a publication called wealth of nations in 1776. this phrase generally means that when a man labors to make goods and services available in the public domain he indirectly contributes to the growth of the society because his commercial/economical activities will contribute to the annual turnover of the country. this is because he will employ/ patronize local content as well in order to successfully implement what he does.
