The Church in New France

Follow the link above and print off the notes given there. Then copy and complete the questions below. I'll see you on Monday.

1. What is divine right and why would it be important in how the people viewed the authority of the King?
2. Suggest three reasons as to why the Church had so much influence over the social and political aspects of New France?
3. How did Bishop Laval and Marguerite Bourgeoys and the Ursuline nuns assist in the development of educational institutions for Quebec?
4. Make a list of all the services provided by the Church in New France. Beside each service, list the government agency or outside organization that is responsible for that service today. You will find the government of Canada and government of Manitoba websites located in the References helpful in determining what government agencies are responsible for each of the different areas you have listed.
