Original sentence: A founder and leader of the conservative Union Nationale party, he built his reputation by exposing the misconduct and patronage of Liberal Premier Louis-Alexandre Taschereau but is most remembered today for the graft and corruption endemic in his government, which is stressed by his left wing opponents, often without real proof.Afterward, Quebec society was caught up in a very swift socio-cultural change away from his conservative, Church-oriented policies towards a highly secular, socially liberal welfare state.Although history (and left wing historians and journalists) has not been kind to Duplessis, some point out that he presided over a period of strong economic growth and 15 consecutive balanced budgets.As such, he is seen as someone who lived up to his own high standards and moral demands based on Christianity (honesty, selflessness).Duplessis never personally enriched himself, and even died in personal debt.He was a very strong supporter of provincial rights, but was critical towards certain individual civil rights and claims which he deemed not in accord with morality and the good of the nation.This was called the Quiet Revolution (Révolution tranquille) and also went by simultaneously with the radical church reforms during and after the liberalizing Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which highly influenced the previously very Catholic region of Quebec
