Question 21
Your Answer:
Napoleon Bonaparte is often evaluated on his military
contributions, but he was also a notable ruler. Evaluate the extent
to which his rule did or did not ful²ll the goals of the Enlightenment
OR the French Revolution. Identify speci²c ideas and/or goals and
speci²c ways in which they were ful²lled or not. Write three full
paragraphs in which you make two to three different points about
Napoleon's rule.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military leader and ruler who
conquered much of Europe. Napoleon kept most of the French empire
together by a legislative process consisting of four bodies. Bonaparte's
legislative process was broken down into the Council of State, the
Tribunate, a legislative assembly, and the Conservative Senate. The
Council of State drafted the bills which would be debated by the Tribunate
and voted on by the Legislative Assembly, which could not discuss the bill
but could review the Tribunate's debate record. The Conservative Senate
was an equal governmental body to the three assemblies above within the
legislation. The Senate could limit Napoleon's power; this is why
Napoleon's legislation process is much like America's three branches of
government. The French Revolutionists wanted a government with more
structure to provide analytical balance within the country; this is what

11/11
Napoleon's newly formed legislation process provided to the French
people.
The Civil Code of France was enacted on March 21, 1804, and marked
the ²rst signi²cant revision since the Roman era laws. The Napoleonic
Code gave men more authority over their families while depriving women
of any individual rights they had and reducing the rights of illegitimate
children. In addition, the code granted all male citizens equal rights under
the law; however, colonial slavery was reintroduced into society. The Civil
Code was constructed under the supervision of a committee of legal
experts, with Napoleon serving as the chairman. The basis of French law
today still echoes much of the same aspects of 1804. The code denied
many achievements in the French Revolution, such as equality before the
law and the abolition of feudalism. Napoleon Bonaparte is viewed with many opinions surrounding his
spiral of success from being an outright tyrant to being one nation's hero.
Bonaparte was nothing less than a determined military leader and
emperor during his life. He reigned with a desire to form a new French
government that would adhere to the demands of the revolutionists while
trying to maintain a spotless military record of overtaking various lands
and countries. In many ways, Napoleon was a despot during the French
Revolution; he felt he needed unlimited power to achieve tremendous
success. He was, without a doubt, one of the most autocratic leaders in
the world; through his intense focus on control and order, he believed his
success was best achieved through a strict hierarchical structure. As a
result, Napoleon Bonaparte lost many battles within himself from failure
to see his self-worth, and he lost many matches with people by losing their
respect. Nevertheless, no matter one's views of Napoleon Bonaparte, he
played a vital role in the French Revolution as France's shining light in a
dark hour.
