Abstract

Introduction - 'The quiet revolution' is the name given to a period in quebec's history commencing in 1960 and intersecting with the death of quebec's Premier, Maurice Duplessis. It was a 'revolution' because a number of sweeping changes were made in the society, government, and legislation of quebec, moving from the radically conservative policies of the Union Nationale government under Duplessis to the radically liberal initiatives of the government headed by Paul Lesage. It was considered 'quiet' because many of these changes were completed without recourse to violence or other traditionally 'revolutionary' behavior, unlike the rebellions of 1837 and 1838, and later the October Crisis, initiated by the FLQ as a calculated attempt to force and accelerate the changes initiated by the Lesage government. In order to understand the specific nature of this quiet revolution in quebec's (and by implication, Canada's) history, the historical role of quebec in the context of the nation of Canada must first be appreciated. Then, some of the events that characterized the revolution become more easily apparent
