  3. How did France change under Napoleon?

  4. Improvements • Napoleon got rid of feudalism. • Peasants no longer had to pay fines. • Legion of Honour (rewarding talented and hard-working people)

  5. Destiny • Napoleon believes he is a man of destiny – someone who can change the face of Europe. • “Sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny” ~ Anon.

  6. In the words of the Emperor . . . “The husband must possess the absolute power and right to say to his wife: ‘Madam, you shall not go to the theatre, you shall not receive such and such a person, for the children you bear shall be mine’. Women should stick to knitting.”

  7. “The People must have religion, and religion must be in the hands of the government.” “If the press is not controlled, I shall not remain three days in power.”

  8. “The ignorant class will no longer exercise their influence on making laws or on government.” “It is not what is true that counts, but what people think is true.”

  9. “In France, women are considered too highly. They should not be regarded as equal to men. In reality, they are nothing more than machines for producing children.”
