Answer:
The correct answer is C. The influence of the Enlightenment on Napoleon is most clearly seen in his code which made all men equal under the laws.
Explanation:
The Napoleonic Code is a large-scale codification of civil law that gave a powerful impetus to the subsequent codification process in many countries of the world. It was developed and adopted at the beginning of the 19th century on the initiative of the first consul of the French Republic, Napoleon Bonaparte, and operates with changes and additions up to the present day.
The Code rejected the existing class differences and privileges and served as one of the foundations for the formation of a new bourgeois society, fixing in its norms the secularization of family relations, equality of participants in civil turnover, inviolability of private property, freedom to conclude civil law contracts and, at the same time, patriarchal views on marriage and family.

The U.S. press, like the U.S. government, is a corrupt and troubled institution. Corrupt not so much in the sense that it accepts bribes but in a systemic sense. It fails to do what it claims to do, what it should do, and what society expects it to do.
The news media and the government are entwined in a vicious circle of mutual manipulation, mythmaking, and self-interest. Journalists need crises to dramatize news, and government officials need to appear to be responding to crises. Too often, the crises are not really crises but joint fabrications. The two institutions have become so ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that the news media are unable to tell the public what is true and the government is unable to govern effectively. That is the thesis advanced by Paul H. Weaver, a former political scientist (at Harvard University), journalist (at Fortune magazine), and corporate communications executive (at Ford Motor Company), in his provocative analysis entitled News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works.
There are many techniques that can contribute to the memorability of a speech, for example stressing the main points and explaining them well, linking the ideas in a logical way and providing a strong conclusion.
One technique that does not support memorability is shouting loudly key words: they might remember you but not the content of the speech.
