The statement ‘Over himself, Over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign’ is associated with :
John Stuart Mill
The sentence is from the first chapter of John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty (1859), where he states that over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.
It expresses Mill’s harm principle: society may interfere with individual conduct only to prevent harm to others, and self regarding actions belong to the individual alone.
Thomas Hobbes placed sovereignty in an absolute ruler, Michael Oakeshott was a conservative philosopher of tradition, and Benjamin Disraeli was a Conservative statesman, so none of them is associated with this claim.
Hence, John Stuart Mill.
