The correct answer is B. The Supreme Court decided that authorities had unfairly singled him out because of his race.

Explanation:

Lee Yick was a Chinese immigrant who owned a laundry facility in a wooden building in California. During this time (end of the 19th century) there was a law that established it was not legal to own this type of business in a wooden building without a special permit. However, this permit was not approved for Chinese migrants who owned almost all laundry facilities.

Due to this, Lee Yick was fined for not owning a permit and he decided to sue. This case was analyzed by the U.S. Supreme Court and it was decided Lee Yick was fined by the authorities just due to his race (Option B) as most laundry facilities were placed in wooden buildings with no permit and the authorities did nothing about it.

Which best describes what France’s Old Regime was?
ElenaW [278]

Ancien regime or the old order was a social and political system of France prior to the revolution of France(1789). Under the old regime, the king of France was an absolute despot and had centralized power in the imperial administration. The political system of France was comprised of the 3 estates which served Clergy on the first stage, Nobility on the second and the Others on the third estate. Thus the old regime came to an end with the French revolution of 1789, when the revolutionaries abolished the hereditary Monarchy and the system of French nobility.
