Hi,
Your answer:
It was under Napoleon that France underwent important reforms which helped to forge the identity of the country following the Revolution, and make him one of the fathers of our institutions. After the Revolution, the French gained new freedoms, and acquired civil equality. Freed from the feudal yoke and the levies of the clergy (tithe), the peasants remained under the influence of bourgeois, who grew rich and constituted great estates. But all without exception wanted tranquility, economic stability, the end of political upheavals and insecurity in the countryside. This is the goal that Bonaparte, then First Consul, had set for himself.
The Constitution of the Consulate
Napoleon began by promulgating the Constitution of the year VIII, the executive power is mainly attributed to the First Consul, which reduced to little the functions of the other two (Cambaceres and Lebrun who replace Sieyes and Ducos). He appointed ministers, and dealt with treaties and declarations of war. The legislative power was rather small, it consisted of two Chambers composed each of 300 members. The Tribunat was content to discuss the laws (giving its consent or refusal), the Legislative Body meanwhile, voted the laws without being able to discuss them. Ingenious system, where the power of one House does not encroach on the other. The ministers (of whom the most famous are Fouché and Talleyrand) were authorized to give their opinion, but it was necessary to avoid annoying the Emperor, for his anger was famous. One day, he kicked Senator Volney's belly who did not agree with him.
Good bye ;)
