Quebec is now one of only a handful of bijuridical jurisdictions in the world where two legal systems co-exist. The "Quebec Act" was opposed by the English minority who believed that British citizens should be governed by English law. The Constitutional Act of 1791 resolved the dispute through the creation of Upper Canada west of the Ottawa River (subject to English common law) and Lower Canada around the St. Lawrence River (where civil law was maintained). The practice of civil law in Lower Canada became quite complex by the middle of the 19th century, because of the multiple sources of

By "canada", the St. Lawrence Iroquoians of "Stadacona" meant "village" in their language. Cartier wrote, ""[I]lz (sic) appellent une ville Canada" (they call a village 'Canada')".
