Detailed explanation-1: -Napoleon eventually abolished the Consulate and declared himself Emperor Napoleon I of France. Read more about the Coup of 18–19 Brumaire, the coup d’état that allowed Napoleon to seize power in France.
Detailed explanation-2: -Napoleon was crowned Emperor of the French on Sunday, December 2, 1804 (11 Frimaire, Year XIII according to the French Republican calendar), at Notre-Dame de Paris in Paris. It marked “the instantiation of [the] modern empire” and was a “transparently masterminded piece of modern propaganda".
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike others before him who had tried and failed, Napoleon terminated the Revolution, but at the price of suppressing the electoral process and partisan politics altogether. Toward the end of the empire, his centralizing vision took over completely, reinforcing his personal will to power.
Detailed explanation-4: -As First Consul, Napoleon instituted a number of lasting reforms: centralised administration of government, a higher education system, a central bank, law codes and a road and sewer system, many of which are still in place today.
