Civil Code of 1804 (Napoleonic Code)
Women lost some rights, but it can be argued that as
the revolutionary government did not extend the vote
or equality to women either (although they had gained
the right to seek support for their illegitimate children
and lost it under Napoleon) he was continuing the
pattern established in the Revolution.
Feudalism and serfdom were abolished and the ideals
of the French Revolution spread in conquered
countries.
Napoleon reinstated slavery in the colonies, which had
been abolished by the convention.
