What did the The Quebec Act of 1774 accomplish?

The Quebec Act of 1774 expanded the boundaries of Quebec, allowing it to include the Ohio Valley and recognized the rights of Catholics to practice their religion freely, which was significant for the largely Catholic population. It also established a colonial government without a representative assembly, which angered many American colonists who valued self-governance. This act was perceived as an attempt to strengthen British control and diminish colonial autonomy, contributing to rising tensions that fueled the American Revolution.
