Legislative Assembly of Quebec (historical)

The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the elected law-making body of the province of Quebec, functioning from 1867 until 1968. It operated as the lower house in the provincial government's parliamentary system, where Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) debated and passed laws. Its role was to represent the citizens of Quebec, scrutinize the government, and pass legislation on issues like education, health, and transportation. In 1968, it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec, reflecting a shift toward a more prominent role in provincial governance and identity.
