Best Answer

Napoleon wanted to understand what Jews and Judaism were in order to find out whether they could be integrated into French Society or not. He came to the conclusion (which was radical at the time) that Judaism was a religion in much the same way that Catholicism or Protestantism were religions and would not serve as an impediment to being French citizens. The prevailing view during that period was the Jews were somehow physically or spiritually distinct from Christian people and would be incapable of being "true" members of a non-Jewish society.
