What did the habitants do?
A Habitant is a engage. Most of them rented pieces of land from the seigneur's. Hope that helps :)
How much of a portion does a habitant give to the seigneur as rent?
In feudal systems, a habitant typically paid the seigneur a portion of their harvest as rent, often around one-tenth or one-fifth of their produce. This rent, known as "cens," could vary depending on the agreement between the habitant and the seigneur. Additionally, the habitant might also owe labor or services, such as working on the seigneur's land. Overall, the exact portion could differ based on local customs and specific contracts.
What were the pros of being a habitant?
no
In which way did the habitants help New France?
Since New France was a colony, it was expected to provide inexpensive, raw materials for the mother country which was France. Habitants helped by farming the raw materials and giving it to the seigneur. They used the farming to pay off their dept or they can pay off their dept in coins. These two methods of payment are called `cens et rens`. A seigneur is an official in New France who divided the land into rectangular strips for the Habitants to farm in. Almost every Habitant lives in 32 hector parcels of land. The seigneur did not own the land, but the king of France did which was King Lois the 14th. The seigneur was only asked to divide the land. Usually the seigneur`s plot was the biggest.
What is the difference between seigneurs and censitaires?
A seigneur is a owner of land this land is leased to the seigneur by the king of France who then tells the seigneur to lease it to habitats or censitaires. the diference is that the censitaires have to inhabit, clear, and cultivate their plot of land. If they failed to do so, the seigneur could take back their land and concede it to someone else (with the intendant's authorization). Censitaires had a number of financial obligations to the seigneur. Every year, they also had to give the seigneur between one to four days of free work known as a corvée. They were also responsible for maintaining the section of the road that crossed their land and give the priest a dîme, which was a yearly tithe the church collected to support the clergy. so the seigneur has more power than the centitairs.
The Seigneurial System plus The Three Roles of the seigneurial system?

What were the advantages to the seigneur?

What is a typical seigneurie?
A typical seigneurie was a large land grant in New France, given by the King to a seigneur who would then distribute smaller plots to settlers. The seigneurie system helped establish a hierarchical society and promote agriculture in the colony. Seigneuries often included a manor house for the seigneur and a mill for the settlers to use.
What are the duties of a seigneur?
Back in the pre-Revolution period the Seigneur was the lord of the manor. Whatever lands he owned were made available for others to live upon, but only with the collection of rent attached. He could also impose fines and taxes upon his habitants (the people having access to his lands in order to grow crops and otherwise work the lands for the benefit of the Seigneur...what we'd now call tenants).After the Revolution, the role of the Seigneur was that of landlord. He would own rental properties and collect tithes, rents and a percentage of any crops grown. The habitants had more rights under the new constitution than they'd had under feudalism. Most importantly, they had the right to buy land and were not forced into a vassal situation
What territories made up new France?
Land in New France was divided into seigneuries. A man was placed in charge of each and he was called the seigneur. He would keep the best land for himself and grant portions of land to settlers. You can read more about it at the related link.
