  6. Answers • 1. What did the census of 1666 show about the percentages of males and females in New France? How do you think this male‐female breakdown of the population would have affected life in New France at the time? • The 1666 census showed that males outnumbered females by 63.3% to 36.7% (almost 2 to 1). This meant that there was a shortage of young women and many young men found it difficult to find wives. It also slowed the rate of population growth.

  7. 2. In your own words explain the meaning of the term hierarchy. What factors do you think people might have considered when deciding who was at the topand the bottom? • A hierarchy is when people in a society or organization are not regarded as equal in importance. Different levels enjoy different privileges and rewards. Normally, people with little education or wealth are regarded as being at the bottom of the hierarchy. As people acquire more education and wealth they gain more power. These factors place them higher in the hierarchy.
