Question: 1 / 1030

What did the Quebec Act restore?

English civil law

French civil law while maintaining British criminal law

The Quebec Act was passed in 1774 and restored French civil law in the province of Quebec while maintaining British criminal law. This was done in an effort to appease the French-speaking inhabitants of Quebec, who had been worried about losing their language, culture, and laws after the British gained control of the region. Option A, English civil law, is incorrect because the Quebec Act did not restore this type of law. Option C, Spanish civil law, is also incorrect as it was not in effect in the province of Quebec. Option D, Dutch trading laws, is unrelated to the Quebec Act and was not restored by it.
