Question

the quebec act was especially unpopular in the american colonies because it did all of the following except it a potentially undermined the asserted democratic rights and institutions of american colonists, including the right to jury trials and the election of representative assemblies, throughout north america, not merely in quebec.

Answer 1

Traditionally, colonial resentment towards the Quebec Act has been attributed to the increased British control of religion, land distribution, and colonial government in North America granted by the Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quebec thus had five reasons to remain loyalist: the generous Quebec Act, the failure of the Americans to take Quebec city militarily, Quebec opposition to New England, the absence of a tradition of self-government, and the erosion of loyalty to France. They feared the Quebec Act because Parliment declared Quebec's religion as being Catholic and that is exactly what the majority of the colonist wanted to get away from. It restored some of the rights of the Canadiens that the Royal Proclamation had taken away. Who benefitted from the Quebec Act? The Canadiens as French civil law was reinstated, Catholics could hold government office, Canadiens land would be protected, Quebec was given prime fur trading land in the Ohio Valley.
