Question

Which if napoleons policies were inconsistent with the general principles of the enlightenment

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers here are, A: His reestablishment of slavery and C: The lack of equal rights for women.

Explanation:

The reason for these two answers comes from first, the principles that formed the basis of the Enlightment movement (18th century mostly), and how Napoleon I (1804-1814 and then for a short period in 1815), decided to rule his newly established French Empire after he took power in France after the French Revolution. The Enlighment movement firmly believed that it was necessary for a break between the old religious and monarchical traditions, and also believed in liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government and separation of church and state. As a whole, Napoleon did follow the Enlightment principles, and he, as well as other monarchs, became known as an Enlightened despot. But among the principles of Enlightment that Napoleon did not apply were: the principle of liberty and the principle of equality, especially when it came to education. In the first case, Napoleon accepted and adopted slavery, which went against the principle of liberty, and in the second case, Napoleon revolutionized the education system in France and most of Europe, but it applied to males, not females.
