What led to the quebec act and what were the effects of its passage
rodikova [14]
The Quebec Act was passed by Great Britain in 1774. Britain had gained the area in 1763 from France after the French and Indian War, and the Quebec Act created an effective administration of the area. It also expanded the size of Canada, and led to resentment by the 13 Colonies. The Canadians were primarily Catholic, and most colonists were extremely against Catholicism. The French living there also had a history of lacking a trial by jury, and the colonists believed the expansion of Canada was a ploy to influence courts in the colonies to lack the right to a trial by jury. This act in conjunction with the Intolerable Acts led to a large feeling of secession among the colonists.

In some deserts, aridity is in part also the result of high temperatures, which means that evaporation rates are great (Mainguet, 1999).
