Why can the Napoleonic Code be seen as both a continuation and a limitation of revolutionary ideals?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it had uniform laws but political freedom remained limited
The governing concept is the mixed legacy of the Napoleonic Code. It continued revolutionary principles by establishing uniform laws, equality before law and protection of property in place of many feudal privileges. However, Napoleon’s authoritarian rule restricted political participation and freedom, limiting the democratic promise of the Revolution. Option A captures both sides; B, C and D ignore these legal reforms or misstate their political effect.
