Abstract
The purpose of this thesis on the Quebec Act is to show that Religious Intolerance played an important role not only in the opposition manifested toward the act in England and America hut also in the events that brought pressure to bear on the British Ministry, importuning them like the man in the gospel until the cry was heeded and answered in the "Quebec Act."|Special emphasis has been placed on the opposition of the colonies not only because of religious prejudice but also because it interfered with their land schemes, both motives were so closely interwoven with many of the colonists that it seemed difficult to draw a line and say what motive predominated.|In justice to the Colonists, it seemed necessary to cast a retrospective glance at the religious situation in America since the landing of the Puritans.|During my study I have had access to a number of primary sources. At the same time I have diligently used the results of trustworthy investigators wherever found.
