The main controversy over Napoleon is if he was a friend or enemy to the French people. Napoleon's prosecutors said that he destroyed the civil liberties of the French people. They also think that he started unnecessary wars of aggression. Another argument is that he ruled above the law like a absolute monarch. People on the defending side of Napoleon say that he saved France from a near anarchic situation in France. He extended the French territory to bring glory to the French people, and the rights of the revolution to the in Europe. Also Napoleon did more to help the people than to harm them.
Yes, he was a modern dictator. What made Napoleon's dictatorship modern was that it embodied popular sovereignty. The people should govern but they need some kind of representation and that can be one person--a dictator.

Napoleon was able to stabilize France internally for some time. He gave the people to code of Napoleon which essentially embodied the revolutions. Yet through his own personal goal of world domination used up France and was eventually defeated leaving France in a worst time or almost the same as decades before.
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.
