The Enlightenment thinker who would have been most likely to agree with the statement that "There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers" is **Jean-Jacques Rousseau**.
Rousseau is known for his ideas on the social contract and the importance of individual participation in governance. Although he held traditional views on women's roles in society, he also emphasized the general will and civic duty, which aligns with the idea of women needing to participate in the political sphere to achieve equality.
It's worth noting that many of his contemporaries may not have supported the idea of women in governance, but Rousseau's philosophical underpinnings concerning participation and representation would make him the most fitting choice among the options given.
