After the vote of the plebiscite in 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte consolidated his control over France by establishing himself as First Consul, effectively making him the head of the government.

This period marked the transition from the chaotic aftermath of the Revolution to a more centralized and authoritarian regime under Napoleon.
