3.+The+Quebec+Act

===By: Yamem,Zoheb and Waleed When did this occur?=== The Quebec act started at 1774 where the British took over the First Nations and French's land, religion etc. so the significance of the Quebec act was for, the British to give back what they have tooken from the French Candians and First Nation people. The Quebec act is connected from the Treaty of Paris in 1763 because, Once Britain began to impose taxes on it's colonies in America to help pay for the war, with Canada (former New France) now in Britains hands the colonists had no reason to pay. Once this has kept going it resulted that the British would take the French Canadians and First Nations region, land etc. and this has all connected into the //Quebec Act of 1774// which concludes our answer for how the //Quebec Act of 1774// occured.

Who did this involve?
The Quebec act invovled two governers of the french ,a french governer of the Quebec colony. Murray Governer Carleton and Governer James Carlton. British merchants were some reasons why they kept complaining about the rights being violated, stoping the Quebec Act to be resumed, you may be asking what violations well the Quebec Act rules. While these are people who were involved there was another french governer named Sir Guy Carleton, The Quebec Act was strongly supported by Carleton he also outraged many people in the Thirteen Colonies. He extended the bounderies of Quebec to the Ohio River. Which granted toleration of the Roman Catholic religion and perserved the French civil law from the british which is simply what the Quebec Act of 1774 was about, so in conclusion Sir Guy Carleton had played a huge role in the //Quebec Act of 1774//,which also concludes our answer to who this involved in the Quebec Act of 1774.

What happenend?/Why did this occur?
What happened was the British took over the the First Nations and the French Canadian's land, religious beliefs and culture. The French Canadians and First Nations had to follow the British rule and the royal proclamation. So what the Quebec Act of 1774 depicted was to save the French Canadians and First Nations to have their culture, religious beliefs and land given rightfully back to them. As a result giving Quebec what they had tooken from them. So as a conclusion this answers the question what happened in the //Quebec Act of 1774,// as the British gave back to the french what they have taken from them.

What resulted from this?/What impact did this have on people today?
As a result from the act of 1774, It made the Ohio Valley part of Quebec futhermore the Quebec act has now let us have two languages in our country French and English. If Britain took over and if the Quebec Act of 1774 was not presented Canada would not have French as a second lanuage but only have English as one whole language, but because of the the Quebec Act we now have French as the second national language of Canada. This is why you can see all over Canada it shows English and French for everything such as labels, newspapers and even in schools where they teach French to children who are in Grade 4 and so on also Canda became multi-cultural so there plenty of languages so what the Quebec Act do is allow French and induse more multi-cultural languages to come in Canada so as a result of what impact does it have on people today? and what resulted from this? the answer was shown in this paragraph.

Additional Information:
This act was an extension of the Royal Proclamation meant to push Québec's boundaries into Aboriginal land located past the Great Lakes into the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. It has been interpreted that the spirit of the //Royal Proclamation// was to be kept in acquiring Aboriginal land for the British. From the British perspective, it had two goals: to keep French Canadian neutral in the coming uprising in the Thirteen Colonies, and to keep Aboriginal peoples on the side of the British. Settlers in the Thirteen Colonies were upset by British encroachment into Aboriginal lands that they considered to be theirs, and considered the //Québec Act// to be one of the Intolerable Acts which were a direct cause of the American Revolution.

Intolerable Acts:
A term used by American patriots to describe five laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774. This was included in the Quebec Act of 1774.
