The correct answer is option 2: G.D.H Cole. The statement "Political independence without economic equality is an illusion" is attributed to G.D.H Cole. Harold Laski, option 1, was a political theorist who focused on the relationship between the state and individual liberty. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, option 3, was a philosopher known for his views on the social contract and democracy. T.H. Green, option 4, was a political philosopher who emphasized the importance of positive freedom and the role of the state in promoting social and economic equality. However, it was G.D.H Cole who specifically made the statement that political independence, without economic equality, is not a true or achievable goal.
