The best example are roads.
USA economy is a mixed-market economy. It blends elements from market economy with elements from planned economies.
Private ownership is prioritized ( free market economy) but the government <em>has control over some public services</em> such as healthcare (to an extend), physical infrastructure<em> (the road system</em>), education, national defense, the postal system and some public lands.
The idea behind public ownership of these services is that they are better performed by public than private enterprise.
The roads in the USA and their infrastructure are<em> funded by taxes</em> (especially the gas one), tolls and user fees.
The movement that directly inspired the Third Estate during the French Revolution was the Enlightenment Reformation.
The Enlightenment was a movement of ideas and philosophies that had reason as the center of its system of concepts. In political theory, one of the main propositions of this movement was the idea of a social contract as the source of the government's legitimacy (relevant authors which adopted this position were John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau). This political approach undermined the absolutist monarchy government of France and was one of the main reasons of the French Revolution.
The southern tip of South America is called Cape Horn.
