  Maurice Duplessis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is said that Quebec's Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, in which the French majority cast off its religious and colonial heritage, would never have taken root if not for the widespread discontent sown by his government.
Born in Trois-Rivières, Duplessis obtained a law degree from Laval University, and was admitted to the Barreau du Quebec in 1913.
Afterward, Quebec society was caught up in a swift socio-cultural change away from his conservative, church-oriented policies towards a highly secular, socially liberal welfare state.
