Napoleon's government was closer to France's absolute monarchy than to the revolutionary government. He centralized power, established a strong authoritarian regime, and crowned himself Emperor, reflecting monarchical traditions. While he implemented some revolutionary reforms, such as the Napoleonic Code, his style of governance prioritized order and control over the democratic ideals of the Revolution. Thus, his rule marked a return to autocratic governance rather than a continuation of revolutionary principles.
