Best Answer

Napoléon was not a member of the gouverning class at the start of the French Revolution. He fought for France and was made a general, because of his success. His popularity as a general and the fact his brother was an influent member of the national assembly helped him rise to power. In that sense he is a son, or a product, of the revolution.
