In what treatise did Jean-Jacques Rousseau write, “Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains”?
Explanation
Answer: D - Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, “Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains” in The Social Contract. The Social Contract was published in 1763 and emphasized the unspoken contract by which all members of a civil society must abide in order to maintain liberty, equality, and civility. The text not only ideologically influenced the American Revolution a little over a decade later, but it also helped inspire subsequent revolutions, including the uprising in Rousseau’s native France in 1789.
