The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

"Genuine freedom presupposes democracy and equality."

We know that the Revolutionary War of Independence in the 13 colonies and the creation of the United States of America influenced and inspired the ideals of the French Revolution.

That is why French revolutionary leaders decided to start the French Revolution with the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789.

It is correct that the quote "Genuine freedom presupposes democracy and equality," was one of the flags of the Third State in France because these poor French people and farmers were tired of the oppression and injustices of the King of France, who lived in abundance, wealth, and luxury, while poor French people were starving to death. Inequities, heavy taxation, and aggravations of their own King Philip XVI were the main reasons to start the revolution under the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
