Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power as military dictator in culmination of the following circumstances:
i) The fall of the Jacobin government and the subsequent ascendancy of wealthier middle classes.
ii) Introduction of a new constitution with the provision of two legislative councils along with denial of right to vote to non-propertied classes.
iii) Appointment of a Directory as an executive made up of five members in order to prevent concentration of power in one person like Robespierre during Jacobin rule.
iv) Political instability caused by the clashes among the Directors and the legislative councils who sought to dismiss them.
The rise of Napoleon came right after the fall of the Directory in 1796. The Directors often clashed with the legislative councils, who then made attempts to dismiss them. The Directory was highly politically unstable; hence, Napoleon rose to power as a military dictator. Earlier, the Jacobins had overthrown King Louis XVI and established governance on their own module; but Robespierre’s administration was too harsh and relentless. Napoleon crowned himself the Emperor in 1804 and abolished dynasties. He viewed himself as a “moderniser of Europe” and was rightly seen as a liberator who introduced a uniform system of weights and measures, introduced laws to protect private property, etc. However, his quest for power led to his ultimate downfall with his defeat at Waterloo in 1815.
