Yes, he was a modern dictator. What made Napoleon's Dictatorship modern was that it embodied popular sovereignty. The people should govern but they need some kind of representation and that can be one person--a dictator. A modern dictator exercises political authority in the name of the people and Napoleon promised peace and stability after such a horrific time of turmoil from the French Revolution.
