WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The 1804 Napoleonic Code, which influenced civil law codes across the world, replaced the fragmented laws of pre-revolutionary France, recognizing the principles of civil liberty, equality before the law (although not for women in the same sense as for men), and the secular character of the state.

Detailed explanation-2: -Napoleon spread enlightenment ideas that benefited the people in France. He created the Napoleonic code, which was basically the first written document of laws. That meant that the judge could not change anything, but the laws applied to all citizens equally and protected their rights.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Napoleonic Code made the authority of men over their families stronger, deprived women of any individual rights, and reduced the rights of illegitimate children. All male citizens were also granted equal rights under the law and the right to religious dissent, but colonial slavery was reintroduced.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of his longest lasting reforms was the Napoleonic Code. This new code of laws embodied Enlightenment principles of equality, religious tolerance, and the end of feudalism. From 1804 to 1812, Napoleon fought to create a vast French empire. Before each battle, he drafted a completely new plan.

Detailed explanation-5: -The code “protected many of the gains of the French Revolution by ensuring equality of all male citizens before the law, universal male suffrage, property rights, and religious liberty”2 while “abolishing all feudal and local customs.”
