Answer: Jean Jacques Rousseau

Step-by-step explanation:

Rousseau was the owner of his famous opening sentence 'Man is born free, and he is everywhere in chains'.

He stated instead that people could only experience true freedom if they lived in a civil society that ensured the rights and well-being of its citizens.
