Napoleons Reform

Napoleon began working on France,reforming the economy, legal system- the famous and enduring codeNapoleon- church, military, eductaion and government. He studied and commented on minute details, while traveling with the army, the reforms continued for most of his rule. Bonaparte was both legislator and statesmen - a study of these achievements could rival his campaigns for size and depth - but even fervent supporters admit that Napoleon made mistakes. The Consul's popularity remained high - helped by his mastery of propaganda, but also genuine national support - and he was elected Consulate for life by the French people in 1802 and Emperor of France in 1804, a title which Bonaparte worked hard to maintain and glorify.
