Answers
If Napoleon had not assumed leadership in France at that time, the French Revolution might have been stamped out by the autocratic powers with the complete suppression of its ideals in France as in Europe. Napoleon preserved and popularized several of the important theories and ideals of French Revolution. He established new political order and organised society on the principle of equality and merit. He ended feudalism and overthrew the old aristocracy. He shared his tendency to make religious concerns secondary to political unity.He introduced a national school system and a parliament that represented the citizen body instead of the classes. He preserved, not only for France but for much of Europe and part of America, the chief fruits of revolution, viz., civil liberty, equality, religious tolerance, emancipation of serfs and trial by jury.
