Show Notes

New France’s government under the French Crown consisted of a Sovereign Council consisting of three major officials: a Governor General, an Intendant and a Bishop, and a number of minor officials, including five councilors, an attorney-general and a clerk. The Sovereign Council was to be the sole governing authority in the colony and the intermediary between the king in France and his overseas subjects in New France.
