In 1980 and again in 1995, referendums in Quebec defeated what movement?

  1. The federalist movement

  2. The liberal movement

  3. The separatist movement

  4. The conservative movement

The correct answer is: The separatist movement

The correct answer is C, the separatist movement. This is because both referendums in 1980 and 1995 were aimed at determining whether Quebec should remain a part of Canada or become an independent country. Option A, the federalist movement, supports keeping Quebec as a part of Canada, while Option B, the liberal movement, does not align with either the separatist or federalist ideologies. Option D, the conservative movement, also does not specifically align with the separatist movement as they often support Canada's retention of its provinces.
