Answer:
When he crowned himself emperor of France in 1804 (and ratified the act by a people’s referendum), Napoleon Bonaparte instituted a new type of monarchy—the “nationalist monarchy,” whereby the monarch ruled on behalf of society’s nationalist aspirations and drive for independence. Napoleon based his rule on the instruments of the French Revolution, such as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. He also, however, was an absolutist monarch who installed his family members as rulers in several European states that had fallen under his control
