6 1801

7 1801 Remember Concordat of 1801 Freedom for French Catholics Deal with pope in which Napoleon s government nominated bishops, paid the clergy, and exerted great influence over the church Concordat of Bologna (1516) New Monarch Francis I made deal with pope that France recognize supremacy of papacy and in return French crown get to appoint bishops and abbots Motivation? $

8 1802 Treaty of Amiens Between France and Britain France agree to leave Britain s colonies in Malta, Egypt, and Cape Colony alone as well as the rest of Europe Napoleon did not listen Peace did not last and resulted in Napoleonic Wars in 1803

10 December 1804 Napoleon crowns himself emperor for life, which lasted 1804 to 1814

19 Summary of Napoleon Napoleon ruled France as dictator and emperor for 15 years ( ) Claiming to defend the ideals of the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte imposed French control over much of the European continent How? Napoleon s new military tactics allowed him to exert direct or indirect control over much of continent spreading the ideals of the French Revolution Result? Continental System: blockade imposed to stop trade between continental Europe and Britain with goal of weakening British economy and military Effects of Napoleon: Nationalistic reaction (ex: Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy) Metric system

20 1. Robespierre s Speech Denouncing the New Conditions of Eligibility Excerpt: All citizens, whoever they are, have the right to aspire to all levels of office-holding. Nothing is more in line with your declaration of rights, according to which all privileges, all distinctions, all exceptions must disappear. The Constitution establishes that sovereignty resides in the people, in all the individuals of the people. Each individual therefore has the right to participate in making the law which governs him and in the administration of the public good which is his own. If not, it is not true that all men are equal in rights, that every man is a citizen. If he who only pays a tax equivalent to a day of work has fewer rights than he who pays the equivalent to three days of work, and he who pays at the level of ten days has more rights than he whose tax only equals the value of three; then he who enjoys 100,000 livres of revenue has 100 times as many rights as he who only has 1,000 livres of revenue. It follows from all your decrees that every citizen has the right to participate in making the law and consequently that of being an elector or eligible for office without distinction of wealth. Explanation: Why this source demonstrates Robespierre was a facilitator of equality: 3 sentences Citation: Robespierre, Maximilien. Speech Denouncing the New Conditions of Eligibility." 22 October Liberty, Equality and Fraternity: Exploring the French Revolution. George Mason University, Web. 26 November 2013.
