HW #9 Napoleon Essay

HOW FAR DID NAPOLEON REALLY REFORM FRANCE?
You should organize your answer into five sections, which you can
later put into paragraphs. The five areas are: Education, The Government, The Church, Rights and Freedoms and Society. To answer the BIG question, you need to look at how far Napoleon reformed each of the sections. For example, in some
areas there had been great change, but in others, there were few differences from the time of King Louis. You can include in your answer quotes and opinions from the man himself to support your own thoughts. Once you have planned what
you are going to include in your sections, you need to write a brief introduction to your work, and sum up your arguments with a strong conclusion.
