The Quebec Acts gave the British territory of Quebec (a formerly French territory) numerous rights and privileges designed to prevent resentment by French settlers in the region. They, however, did tie Quebec closer to England, a fate the colonists were afraid awaited them next.

the quebec act expanded the boundarys of Quebec into Ohio Valley, in which the thirteen Colonies wanted. The Colonists view this as " playing the French against them". Also, the Quebec act stated for quebec that they were not allowed to have election assemblys. an ominous sign to the Americans who had those assemblys that the british would strip the colonies of election and promote Roman Catholic Church. All these reasons lead the Thirteen Colonies, who were protestant, to think of the quebec act as "intolerable", the Quebec act was one of the main contibuting factors to the American revolution.
