History

Answer:

The Constitutional Convention gathered in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. The Virginia delegation took the initiative to frame the debate by immediately drawing up and presenting a proposal, for which delegate James Madison is given chief credit. It was, however, Edmund Randolph, the Virginia governor at the time, who officially put it before the convention on May 29, 1787 in the form of 15 resolutions.

The scope of the resolutions, going well beyond tinkering with the Articles of Confederation, succeeded in broadening the debate to encompass fundamental revisions to the structure and powers of the national government. The resolutions proposed, for example, a new form of national government having three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. One contentious issue facing the convention was the manner in which large and small states would be represented in the legislature. The contention was whether there would be equal representation for each state regardless of its size and population, or proportionate to population giving larger states more votes than less-populous states.

Napoleon created all of the following, EXCEPT
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The answer is A. A new system for paving roads, which allowed his troops to move faster.  

Explanation:

In 1796 a new governing body, the Directory, made Napoleon the commander of the French army in Italy, which was then fighting the Austrians and their allies. The Italian campaign showed Napoleon’s military genius. He bewildered his enemies with his rapid movements, and he eventually carried the war into Austria itself and had advanced to within 80 miles of Vienna when the enemy surrendered. He concluded the Treaty of Campo Formio, which gave France more territory. After a failed invasion of Egypt, he returned to France, where the political situation had become unstable. The Directory had lost its popularity among the people, and Napoleon saw an opportunity for self-advancement. In November 1799, he joined in a coup that overthrew the Directory. In its place, a government called the Consulate was set up and had Napoleon as the first of the three consuls.  

Within three years, Napoleon was made first consul for life. He instituted reforms in post-revolutionary France, starting with a complete overhaul of military training. <u>He also centralized the government, reorganized the banking and educational systems, supported the arts, and improved relations between France and the pope.</u> His most significant achievement was the Napoleonic Code, which streamlined the French legal system. Continued political opposition from royalists and others soon convinced Napoleon that the best way to discourage conspiracies against him would be to transform the life consulate into a hereditary empire. On May 18, 1804, the French empire was proclaimed, and Napoleon was consecrated emperor of France by Pope Pius VII in the Notre Dame Cathedral on December 2.
