If I was A French soldier in 1803 I would have voted no to make Napoleon emperor. I would have voted no because, although some of Napoleons laws or rights were good, at different times he changed them. He made rights and laws that benefited the people and others didn't benefit different people so much. Even though Napoleon was a very great general, I would not count on him to make fair laws and rights for all the people.
In a plebiscite (referendum) held in 1935 the Saar (Saarland) the overwhelming majority of electors (over 90%) voted to rejoin Germany. This plebiscite had been timetabled in 1920 and was held with international obsevers. There was no takeover.
As per the Treaty of Versailles, Alsace-Lorraine was guaranteed a plebiscite which the French did not honor, instead outright annexing the territory. Germany later defeated France and occupied (but did not annex) Alsace-Lorraine during World War 2.
In 1920, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the Saar was put under French control for 15 years (from 1920). In 1935 the electors decided the future of their area in a vote, and over 90% voted to rejoin Germany. This vote (plebiscite) was provided for in the Versailles Treaty and was done with foreign observers present. It was all legal and above board. On March 1, 1935, Germany took over the Saar.
The Catholic clergy and the nobles which were only a small percentage of the total French population voted together thus defeating any reforms by the people.
No one truly knows how many voted for Barack Obama because of his race, so one can only make a wild guess towards the matter.One guess would be that the same amount of people who voted for Barack Obama because of his race is equivalent to the amount of people who voted against him because of it.

Perhaps he deserved a thumbs up, he was certainly an improvement over the government provided by the Republic and the Monarchy.
At the time of napoleon's coup, france was still at war. in 1799, Britain, Austria, and Russia joined forces with one goal in mind, to drive napoleon from power. At first, napoleon pretended to be the constitutionally chosen leader of free republic. in 1800, a plebiscite, or vote of the people, was held to approve a new constitution. desperate for strong leadership, the people voted overwhelmingly in favor of the constitution. This gave all real power to napoleon as first consul.

there has been two plebiscite about membership in EU, but both times the main part of the people voted no. the main reason is the fish that we don't want others to fish which may happen with a EU membership. there has been two plebiscite about membership in EU, but both times the main part of the people voted no. the main reason is the fish that we don't want others to fish which may happen with a EU membership.
It was voted down in a plebiscite- popular election on just this issue. Goodbye Royal Italian Navy- but the Italian Navy still hoists the triple crown flag!
Augustus, the first emperor of Rome was powerful because he was voted all the power. He returned some of the authority to the senate, but kept the most important ones for himself.Augustus, the first emperor of Rome was powerful because he was voted all the power.

It was in 1870 when the French stopped having monarchs. The 1848 revolution led to the fall of Louis Philippe I, and then Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (a nephew of Napoleon the emperor) became president and then, in 1852, he became emperor under the name Napoleon III. This was the Second Empire. Finally, after the defeat and fall of Napoleon III by Prussia, in 1870, the French III republic was born, and that's when the monarchy was officially over. This revolution happened because the French people were starving, really poor and mad. The French philosophers were teaching and speaking of other systems of government, some very Utopian and some practical. After a particularly poor harvest and seeing in what extravagance their royalty lived the poor arose and overthrew the royalty. A republic was formed, the King, Queen and many others were given a one way trip to the guillotine and the French were free.
French laws are voted by the Parliament, which includes the Assemblee Nationale and the Senat.
The National Convention met in September 1792 and voted to abolish the monarchy immediately and establish a republic.In a coup d'etat in November 1799, Napoleon became first consul. In 1802, he was made consul for life and two years later, emperor. This ending the Republic until 1848.
Julius Caesar never became a Roman emperor. He received honors and was voted Dictator for Life by the senate, due to his military victories, but he was never an emperor.
