It is impossible to summarize a whole legal system in a few sentences. The Code Napoleon had two basic goals: 1) to give France a single legal system, and 2) to embody the values of the French Revolution in the law of France. Before the Code Napoleon, France had hundreds of different legal codes. Provinces, cities and even hamlets could have their own codes. As its starting point, the Code Napoleon used the Coutume de Paris, which was the legal code of areas that were under the direct rule of the King - like Paris or New France (Canada). But it is a mistake to think that the Coutume de Paris and the Code Napoleon were the same. The Coutume de Paris, like the other old French legal codes, was based on a mixture of Roman law and the values of the Ancienne Regieme, like fidelity to authority as embodied by the Crown and the Church. The Code Napoleon was based on the values of the European Enlightenment and the French Revolution - values like liberty, brotherhood and equality.

It was a simple, secular and universal French Law Code that was published by Napoleon, supposedly for the people of France.

Napoleonic code was a set of civil codes established under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte. The two defining principles of the code were that no privileges would be granted on the basis of birth and government jobs will be given only on merit. The code also allowed freedom of religion.

It established freedom of religion, forbade special privilege based on birth and mandated merit as the basis for government employment. These three guiding principals were a radical change from the ancient feudal system.
