What significant action did the Quebec Act regarding British criminal law?

  1. It abolished it in favor of French criminal law

  2. It maintained British criminal law

  3. It introduced American criminal law

  4. It merged French and British criminal laws

The correct answer is: It maintained British criminal law

The Quebec Act, passed in 1774, did not have any impact on British criminal law. The Act instead focused on other aspects such as governing and territorial boundaries. Option A is incorrect as the Act did not abolish British criminal law, while option C is incorrect as it did not introduce American criminal law. Option D is incorrect as the Act did not merge French and British criminal laws. Option B is the only correct answer as it maintained the existing British criminal law in Quebec at the time.
