2.Created a new structure of government for each province.
-It included, for the first time in Canada's history, a legislative assembly. The members of which were elected by the people. The result was representative, but not responsible government since the governor-general could veto or refuse bills passed by the elected legislative assembly.

-However both provinces were governed by the English criminal code.

The Act also guaranteed the French people their rights to the Roman Catholic Church. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDXIJxa1R_tcse0Cwaxa938QtOCH4AahGk7Wa9-fTgEQirgqEMD7CxRE2d684qgw-7xq44NeYHRAAnTpgOLItgmqHkwwVDDFUpZOR_5bbl9SS5PoaiI0StDS34tOZYWgc08T62-hqKcMzb/s320/upper+canada+vs+lower+canada.png)
