Document 1

Napoleon's armies did bring many of the ideals of the Revolution to Europe: the basic ideas of

the overthrow of aristocratic privilege, of a constitution, of the Code Napolon (which was a

codification of the laws of the French Revolution). In this sense Napoleon was a revolutionary.He turned his back on revolution to the extent that he was authoritarian and contemptuous of

"the little man," but certain important accomplishments of the Revolutionpeasant

ownership of land free from feudal obligations, expropriation of the possessions of the Church

and of the migr nobilitywere retained and even extended beyond Frances borders.

Napoleon was indeed a military despot, but he did not destroy the work of the Revolution; in a

sense, in a wider European context, he rounded off its work.

The husband owes protection to his wife, the wife obedience to her husband. The wife is obliged to live with her husband, and to follow him to every place where he

may judge it convenient to reside: the husband is obliged to receive her, and to furnish

her with everything necessary for the wants of life, according to his means and station.

The wife cannot plead in her own name, without the authority of her husband, eventhough she should be a public trader, or non-communicant, or separate in property.

A wife, although non-communicant or separate in property, cannot give, alienate,pledge, or acquire by free or chargeable title, without the concurrence of her husband in

the act, or his consent in writing.

When the husband is subjected to a condemnation, carrying with it an afflictive orinfamous punishment,... the wife, though of age, cannot, during the continuance of such

punishment, plead in her own name or contract, until after authority given by the

judge...
