Detailed explanation-1: -The Napoleonic Code is also called the “French Civil Code of 1804” defined the concept of equality before the law and also secured the right to property. This code abolished the feudal system and freed peasants from serfdom and manorial dues as well as improvement in the Transport and communication systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Enacted on March 21, 1804, the resulting Civil Code of France marked the first major revision and reorganization of laws since the Roman era. The Civil Code (renamed the Code Napoleon in 1807) addressed mainly matters relating to property and families.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Napoleonic Code was created because the legal system in France before 1800 consisted of various laws derived from Roman, feudal, and royal legal codes. After the French Revolution, Napoleon wanted to modernize France by creating a new legal code that better reflected the revolution’s principles.
