The province's territory was expanded to take over part of the First Nations Reserve

It guaranteed free practice of the Catholic faith.

It restored the use of the French civil law for private matters while maintaining the use of the English common law for public administration, including criminal prosecution.

Quebec Act of 1774

1. provisions were seen as a new model for British colonial administration

2. promote the Roman Catholic faith in preference to widely-held Protestant beliefs

3. limited opportunities for colonies to expand on their western frontiers by expanding Quebec’s boundaries
