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.
