What important rights does Napoleon strip away when he seized power?

When Napoleon seized power, he curtailed several important rights, particularly those related to political freedom and expression. He established a centralized, authoritarian regime that limited freedom of the press, restricted political opposition, and curtailed civil liberties. Additionally, he undermined democratic institutions established during the French Revolution, replacing them with a system that concentrated power in his hands, effectively silencing dissent and reducing citizens' participation in governance.


Chief contributions of Napoleon to the French Revolution?

Napoleon Bonaparte created the L'Arc de Triumphe with his bare hands. He was a father of12. All boys. their names are (from oldest to youngest) Jean, Pierre, Nicolas, Christophe, Henry, Zachary, Grant, Alexander, Reggie, Michael, Larue, and Aaron. He was the king of all murderers and he disgraced the french name and ate all of the country's Danishes. The Above is total nonsense. Yes, Napoleon ordered the Arc de Triomphe constructed, but not with his bare hands. He had one legitimate child and two acknowledged illegitimate children. The last sentence doesn't even deserve a response. Napoleon contributed much to his country, and Europe. Some of his longest-lasting contributions include the Napoleonic Code, a law code, and the Feelings of nationalism his army and conquests spawned gave birth to many other nationalist movements across Europe, along with spreading the Revolution's Principles. Physically, Napoleon order several buildings constructed and gave Paris a 'facelift', improving its aesthetic appearance. He Revolutionised warfare, introduced mass conscription and the concept of total war. Napoleon also had contributions in the arts, sponsoring many painters, sculptors and composers.

What was the primary reason Great Britain worked with the United States to enforce the Monroe Doctrine?

After the French Revolution, all of Europe was in turmoil. England had its hands full fighting Napoleon. England felt it could work with the Americans, and it was in its interests to allow them to "patrol the back door", as it were, and keep the French (and later, Prussians and Austrians) from flanking them in the New World. It freed their resources for the main battles in Europe itself.

How is the French flag linked to the French Revolution?

Just after the French Revolution, the King Louis XVI had to accept to wear la cocarde, which is a circle ribbon composed of three colors, blue, white, and red. At this time, the blue and red colors represented the city of Paris, which was the center of the Revolution. The white color represented the Kings of France, such as the lily flower. The message of the flag was so : The King is now between the hands of Paris (until the Revolution, the King lived in Versailles).

Did the French Revolution or American Revolution have a greater impact on the world?

I would say American Revolution because it was known as a 'world war' at that time. It also told countries that the 13 colonies were now known as the United Stated is America. The American Revolution had a greater impact. The French Revolution gained strength and motivation from the Americans. The US Constitution remains the oldest document that continues to maintain a democracy. I would agree as well. While the French Revolution seems to be more revered around the world, the fact remains that the French were highly inspired by the Americans' successful revolution less than ten years prior. The Americans showed that it was possible for the people to overtake a monarchy. Of course, the French fell victim to their own revolution as did the English and both restored monarchical-type rulers. The American Revolution remains singular in that it didn't fall into the hands of a dictator/tyrant/monarch.


Was the French revolution worth the bloodshed?

Absolutely not. About 40.000 people got innocently murdered. The reason why the revolution was started is to be understood. The people were starving while they saw the nobility, clergy and their royal family bathing in wealth. That wasn't right and had to change, yes. But a constitutional monarchy would have been the best option. That way, the King would only have been king in name but keep his stature, and the country would have been reigned by cabinets formed of the bourgeoisie, nobility and clergy. Unfortunately, the French chose the most violent way imaginable, and murdered everybody that stood in the way (or even dared to think differently) of the revolution. Absolutist power is always dangerous in the hands of a monarch as well as in the hands of a movement (in this situation, the National Assembly). On the other hand the French Revolution abolished serfdom and absolutism in France. The National Assembly. the 3rd estate was 97% of the population and since the clergy and nobility always sided together they were oppressed. Napoleon was a dictator but he did reform the educational and judicial system.
