Why was the Constitutional Act of 1791 important ?
The Constitutional Act passed by the British Parliament in 1791 divided the Province of Québec into two distinct colonies: Lower Canada in the east and Upper Canada in the west. The new constitutional act that repealed the Québec Act of 1774 did not concern other Canadian colonies.

This is why...
The Constitutional Act of 1791 was an Act of the British Parliament creating Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Although it was a first step towards Canadian Confederation, its rigid colonial structures also set the stage for rebellion in the two Canadas.
The passing of the Constitutional Act, 1791, ushered in the next chapter of Canadian Constitutional history. Almost as soon as it was passed, though, new problems emerged.
