This election marked Duplessis's comeback after having defeated Godbout in the 1936 election and having lost to him in the 1939 election. Duplessis would go on to win another three elections in a row, for a total of five terms of office (four consecutive), before dying in office in 1959.
In 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that helped ensure the survival of the French language and French culture in the region; since it did not hinder Catholicism in Quebec, it was deemed as one of the Intolerable Acts that spurred the American Revolution.
Until 1968, the Quebec legislature was bicameral, consisting of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly.
