This wasn't to be however, as this Napoleon fooled the people. He pretended to govern a democratic government but instead he used the secret police to suppress popular opinion. Early on he gained support by legalizing trade unions and giving them a limited power of voting. He allowed the right to strike as well. He provided programs for public works and got the middle classes involved in the economy with new banking and finance regulations.
