Detailed explanation-1: -The French people welcomed Napoleon–the bourgeoisie, in particular, expected Napoleon to protect the wealth and influence they had gained as a result of 1789. A new constitution was drawn up which specified that three Consuls would share power as a sort of triumvirate. Napoleon, of course, was one of these Consuls.
Detailed explanation-2: -He personally negotiated the Treaty of Campo Formio with the defeated Austrians, bringing vast new territories under French control. The people of Paris welcomed their returning hero. They looked to Bonaparte to end the political chaos into which the Revolution had descended once again.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bonaparte made many promises and assurances – that he would protect and maintain the Republic; that he would defend the principles of the Revolution; that he would stay in power just so long as it took to resolve the political crisis and ensure the security of the state.
