In the first decade of the 19th century, the transformation of France into an imperial monarchy with republican trappings did, in fact, strike many observers as strange. In the last decade of the 18th century, France had been swept up in an anti-monarchical revolution; thus, the general acceptance by the French of an emperor -- yet another monarch -- as their new leader could not be easily explained.
The Revolution had sent the Monarchy running but the welfare of the peasants had not improved their lives and the Reign of Terror needed to be ended. Someone needed to take charge of the situation.

Because of his success in ruling France as First Consul, as legislator, as Commander in Chief of the army.

I would like to point out that correct title of Napoleon the Great was "Emperor of the French" and not "Emperor of France". He wasn't the only Emperor to rule the French but the first one. The second and last one was his nephew and heir Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (1808-1873). After a coup d'état he become Napoleon III Emperor of the French, from 1852 to 1870.
Louis Bonaparte was Napoleon's brother. Charles Louis Napoleon Bonoparte who became Emperor Napoleon III was Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew.
Napoleon was never really king, he just declared himself Emperor of France, after his reign, the Bourbon monarchy was restored to power making King Louis xviii ruler of France.
In the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution Napoleon became the First Consul and then the Emperor of the French. After his exile King Louis XVIII became the King.

Further, he was the father of Napoleon III the Emperor of France and 1st President of the French Republic in the future, he had adequate credentials to be considered as famous.---I think the above answer confuses Louis Napoleon with Louis Bonaparte.
