During the French Regime, religion defined everything: society, culture & education... True or false?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During the French Regime, religion played a crucial role in shaping various aspects of society, culture, and education. The Catholic Church held significant power and influence, dictating social norms, moral values, and educational practices. The clergy played a central role in administering education and controlling cultural expressions. This religious dominance can be seen in the close relationship between the Church and the monarchy, as well as in the numerous religious institutions and practices that pervaded French society during this period. Therefore, it is accurate to say that religion defined everything during the French Regime.

At the time of the 1791 Constitution Act separating Upper & Lower Canada, education was considered a local responsibility. This means that the responsibility for providing education and overseeing schools fell on the local communities or municipalities rather than the government or religious institutions. The act allowed for the establishment of local school boards and gave them the authority to manage and fund education within their respective areas. This decision reflected the belief that education was best managed at the local level, allowing for more tailored and responsive approaches to the specific needs and priorities of each community.

This decision was likely made to accommodate the diverse religious beliefs and ensure equal representation and opportunities for all citizens.
