The Napoleonic Code.
In the mid 19th Century Louis-Napoleon, also known as Napoleon the Third (serving as France's President at the time) held a plebiscite in France to decide the question of whether or not he should become Emperor. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of an Empire, and the Second French Empire was born.

Law was used as a method to do its best to recognize that the common citizen could look to a definite, written and secular legal system. Over the long duration of Rome as a simple city state to a decaying vast empire, naturally new laws were created or modified. Some laws were abolished.One major aspect of Roman laws was that certain official offices required an election by the citizens.The beginnings of the Roman system of laws and government were Twelve Tables of basic laws administered by magistrates.
