What was the social structure of the old regime?

France had 3 estates, which was the clergy as the first estate, the nobility made up the second estate, and the majority of the population made up the third estate.

The New Hampshire state legislature was unable to take control of Dartmouth College because it was a privately funded institution. As such, the government had no power over it, because it was created and got its money from individuals, rather than the state itself, meaning that those individuals, and not the state, owned the institution. Private property is protected by the US institution, so no state can break that law.
