Response to Napolean and the French Revolution

After Napoleon abdicates in 1814, the revolution is officially over, and Louis XVIII is crowned King of France. Can you believe it? The monarchy returns!!! In light of our investigation of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, evaluate the legacy of the French Revolution. Do you believe it was a success or a failure? Your response should be atleast 150 words.

Before Napolean, things seemed to progress positively for the third estate people of france. They were able to fight the monarchy and attain rights of equality. But, when it came to Napolean, it didn't progress completely negatively, but it came out a different way.

Napolean was a selfish man. He was like everyone else, so he had the same basic concerns as the majority population. Even though he did fight for the rights of his people, he had special beliefs and preferences as well. He made France just the way he wanted to see it. Hence, he did support equality under law, religious rights, ethnic respect, cheap food, paved roads, and others, but he also allowed beating wives, denied equal women's rights, and didn't support employees.

However, he did present some new ideas that did support the people further than the earlier part of the french revolution, and thats why I would say that he made a step further for france. But, I don't think he preserved the legacy of the French Revolution in its fullest. He is the equivalent of a tyrant, but a true tyrant offers no new positive ideas, which shows how Napolean isn't utterly a tyrant. He was a good man, but he was quite selfish and his strange beliefs and influences made it so we can't consider him a hero.
