Theme 3: Official Power and Countervailing Powers (Mar 23-27)

We have started our THIRD theme. We are examining the evolution of "official power" and its relationship with "countervailing powers" in Quebec over 400 years.

Our first two classes (last week) examined the relationship between government and interest groups (groups who, through various means, seek to influence government policy) in our contemporary democratic society.  We also learned why and how to structure notes in a "Cornell" fashion - with the intent of helping you be better equipped to study.

CLASS 3: POWER RELATIONS IN NEW FRANCE:

All groups began examining the relationship between the official power in New France and the few "interest groups" that existed in the colony. We looked at power relations between the mother country and the colony; then we looked at the relationship between NF's government and aboriginal groups, as well as the Catholic church in NF.
