Napoleon Bonaparte's domestic policies, such as the Napoleonic Code and the establishment of a merit-based bureaucracy, reflect his role as a democratic reformer by promoting individual rights and legal equality. However, his authoritarian governance is evident in his suppression of political dissent, censorship of the press, and the establishment of a police state. Internationally, while he spread revolutionary ideals through conquests, his expansionist ambitions and the establishment of satellite states showcased his autocratic tendencies. Thus, Napoleon embodied a duality of promoting reform while consolidating personal power.
