Which is most correct about the French Revolution?1) The French revolution liberated the individual, creating and consolidating the modern state?...

I would argue that the second statement is more correct in the
short term but the first statement is more correct in the long term. The French Revolution did
not liberate people very much in the first few decades, but it did lay the groundwork for setting
people free.

The most important immediate effects of the Revolution
were the Reign of Terror and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Neither of these can really be
characterized as a move towards liberating the individual. (Although Napoleon's reign can be seen
as a move towards the creation of a modern state.)

However, the
Revolution did destroy the old system that was so repressive. It did not replace the old system
with anything good in the short term, but later on France did move much more towards the ideals
of the Revolution.

Overall, then, both statements are somewhat true,
depending on the time period you use for evaluating them.
