The Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoleon is the French civil code, established under Napoléon I in 1804. The code forbids privileges based on birth, allowed freedom of religion, and specified that government jobs go to the most qualified. Brought into law on March 21st 1804. The Code, with its stress on clearly written and accessible law, was a major step in establishing the rule of law. Historians call it 'one of the few documents which have influenced the whole world'.
