Territory
Quebec was expanded to the west to the Upper Mississippi and Ohio River. The province was now approximately three times larger than it was originally.

Law
The traditional French system of private law was restored.
Religion
The tithe (a religious tax) was once again allowed to be collected. Also, the Jesuit priests who had, prior to the Act, had been deported were now allowed to return.
Land use system
The Seigneurial System was restored rather than the Township System.
