3.  Individuals did not have the right to vote for the governor of the colony  There was no free press in the colony  Citizens had the responsibility of being “loyal citizens,” but without many rights  Administrators were appointed by the King and were expected to keep order, along with the military establishment and Seigneurs

4.  Old French traditions changed in New France  Commoners could rise to the status of Seigneurs or military leaders  The structure of New France changed when people from different regions of France came together

5.  In New France, a peasant would’ve grown up in the same village or region and lived there for all their life. They would be very familiar with the traditions and cultural values of that region.  In New France, habitants came from different regions, therefore they would have to become accustomed to different ways of living.

6.  The society of New France was very different from the one in France  There were Aboriginal influences, particularly with the coureurs de bois and voyageurs, who learned about the Aboriginal traditions of freedom and equality

7.  The French Catholic Church was the most dominant force in early New France  In the early days, only Catholics could be settlers, hold public offices, and collect tithes  “as long as you do what you’re told, you’ll be taken care of...” – teachings of Catholic Church  Later on, a commoner could rise to the status of a bishop in the Catholic Church

8.  Was introduced to New France in 1672  Semi-feudal system of land distribution  Land was distributed in strips called seigneuries  Each piece of land belonged to the King of France and was maintained by a Seigneur  Habitants paid taxes and were required to work for the Seigneur at least 3 times a year
