Napoleon continued the principles of the French Revolution through his institutions and reforms of constitutional government, legal guarantees of civil rights, property rights, a secular and national educational system, a national army, liberty of worship, a 2-chamber legislation, and the establishment of a national church.

However, it is important to note that he did not always fully continue the principles behind the Revolution. For example, he considered women inferior to men, and considered laborers and black men unequal to white educated men. (See the Civil Code of 1804 concerning rights of marriage, husbands, wives, and working men; and the 1802 law re-establishing slavery in French colonies and the slave trade.) He also created a nobility with titles and went further than many revolutionaries would have wanted in his regimentation and domination of the church and of education. Additionally, he tyrannically conquered much of Europe, extracted money from the conquered lands for financing further expansion and maintaining the government and army, and placed family members on those lands' thrones. Finally, the mere fact that he proclaimed himself emperor and restored hereditary rule undid all that the French revolutionaries had been working for.
