Question

How did the Napoleonic Code decrease freedom of speech and press?

Answer 1

Napoleon's code strengthened men's power in their families, deprived women of their rights, and reduced the rights of children. All male citizens were also given equal rights under the law and the right to oppose religion, but colonial slavery was restored. Freedom of speech and of pressures was limited. The revolutionary leaders took the text's ideas and applied them.
