What is Napoleonic code? Mention two Points.

Answer:  The Napoleonic Code, often known as the “French Civil Code of 1804,” established equality before the law and guaranteed property rights. This code was created to organise and simplify all laws into a single text.

This Code was propagated throughout the French-controlled territories. Napoleon’s simpler administrative vision was followed by states like the Dutch Republic, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. 

The Napoleonic code was founded on the three French Revolutionary ideas.

• Reason and common sense should guide legislation
• Under the law, all males should be treated equally
• Certain liberties should be available to people
