What are the results of the Napoleonic code?
The Napoleonic Code of Law works on the basis of 'The accused must prove his innocence in a court of law, otherwise he/she is improsoned/fined. The English Code of Law works on the basis of ' The accused does NOT have to prove his/her innocence in a court of law. It is for the accusers to prove guilt. If guilt is not proven the accused goes free. It is a very subtle difference!!!! The English Code' comes from, King Henry (II) in 1180's. when he established Circuit Judges and Trial by Jury of Twelve Just Men and True, and right of innocence. The Napoleonic Code, as the name suggests comes from Napoleon, in the 1800's when he was 'conqueror' of Europe, and the right of innocence was removed. A very recent example of the Napoleonic Code in action was the murder of Merdith Kercher in Italy. Amanda Knox(USA citizen) and Solecito were accused. Amanda Knox could not prove her innocence, so the Italian court imprisoned her. She appealed on the decision, but it took four years for the law process to act. Whereupon she was released, and went back to the USA.

Which change the Napoleonic code or the invasion of Spain do you think is the most significant overall explain your answer and defend it?
That is a tough question. The Napoleonic code created a law code still in use. However, I will go with the invasion of Spain. Napoleon's invasion of Spain gave the impetus for the Latin American nations to declare their freedom. It also made the king of Portugal realize he had to choose between Portugal and Brazil. Many countries in the world that use the Napoleonic Code are now going over to English Law in civil matters, so the Napoleonic code is losing part of its value. Brazil is even starting to use some features of English Law in criminal matters. If this trend continues, then the long term results of the revolutions that came about as a result of Napoleon's invasion of Spain will outlive his Code.

What was Napoleonic code?
Before the Napoleonic Code, each locality in France had their own laws, which could be very different from surrounding areas. This made life confusing. The most significant aspect of the Napoleonic Code is that it set uniform laws for all of France. It primarily abolished the three estates from the Old Regime and granted equal rights before the law to people of all classes. Unfortunately women could not hold property and Napoleon could overrule any law.The Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoléon (originally called the Code civil des Français) was the French civil code, established under Napoléon I (Napoleon Bonaparte), and its use began on March 21, 1804. It is considered one of the first successful codifications of common laws in Europe, and is still the basis of the French legal system, as well as that of the US state of Louisiana.Napoleon I set out to reform the French legal code. He collected the mish mash of existing civil law in France and appointed a panel of four judges to codify French law, clarify it and reduce it to a written code in 1804. It was the first modern legal code and was designed to make the law both more uniform and more accessible so everyone would know the consequences of their behavior and all citizens would be treated the same. It is a system of civil law based on Justinian's sixth-century codification of Roman law. Napoleon's code is still in use but has been revised.See related link.
