The Quebec Act of 1774 was passed by the British parliament as a response to the failures of the Royal Proclamation of 1763.
The Royal Proclamation had intended to bring the French in Quebec into the
English culture, though recognized as a goal which would take time. The idea was to
amalgamate the French within the existing majority English culture which had dominated by
the victory in the 7 Years was (1756-1763).
However it failed.
Therefore by 1774 the British realized they had better do something to ameliorate their
relationship with the French, as well as being aware of the dangers of having an angry
Quebec if and when their 13 Colonies to the south, the Americans, rebelled.
Therefore, the Quebec Act had the effect of providing more guarantees for the
enfranchisement of the French culture and institutions in Quebec.
This was feared by the 13 Colonies to the south because it meant when the rebellion
did start, in a year or so after the Quebec Act, their was less chance that the
Quebecois would join the 13 Colonies, as the 14th Colony in the rebellion.
In fact Quebec remained "loyal" to the English, and this made it harder for the 13 Colonies to gain more control than they did.
Had the Quebecois joined the American revolution there is a good chance that Canada
would be part of the United States today.
