The Quebec Act of 1774 was an Act of British Parliament setting governance in the Providence of Quebec. 1. It reinstated the use of French civil law for private matters, kept British Law for criminal punishment & public administration. 2. The Oath of Allegiance was replaced with no reference to the Protestant faith and guaranteed protection of the practice of Catholicism 3. It expanded the territory to take over what is now Ontario, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and most of Wisconsin. Obviously this affected both Quebec and the 13 original colonies. It was designed partially as Punishment for the Boston Tea Party, and limited the colonies to expand their Western frontiers. Canadians had varying views of this Act.
