Detailed explanation-1: -DEBAECQUE: He is certainly not a revolutionary before the beginning of the Revolution. But Bonaparte welcomes the Revolution. He feels that the Revolution is going to open up French society, abolish privileges and hierarchies. Bonaparte was a man of his times and to be 20 years old in 1789 is really important.
Detailed explanation-2: -Napoleon instituted reforms in post-revolutionary France, starting with a complete overhaul of military training. He also centralized the government, reorganized the banking and educational systems, supported the arts, and improved relations between France and the pope.
