“In every free government, the people must give their assent to the laws by which they are governed. This is the true criterion

between a free government and an arbitrary one. The former are ruled by the will of the whole, expressed in any manner they may agree upon; the latter by the will of one, or a few. If the people are to give their assent to the laws, by persons chosen and appointed by them, the manner of the choice and the number chosen, must be such, as to possess, be disposed, and consequently qualified to declare the sentiments of the people; for if they do not know, or are not disposed to speak the sentiments of the people, the people do not govern, but the sovereignty is in a few. Now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people, without having it so numerous and unwieldy, as to be subject in great measure to the inconveniency of a democratic government….”
Brutus 1

How did nationalism aid Napoleons rise to power in France
butalik [34]
He was able to use this drive to let him have the power over France. It was just like when the Church used religion to make citizens follow their orders and justify their actions. 

 \Napoleon used the Napoleonic Code, his creation, to unite the people and overthrow the monarchy in France. They finally felt that they have liberty, fraternity, and equality on their hands. He was able to stir the feelings of Nationalism. In addition to this, he also made several successful battles during the French Revolution. The unity of the people made them become a strong force in Europe. Napoleon was a symbol of Nationalism which eventually supported him to have the power.
