Napoleon
Je suis Napoleon
If I was A French soldier in 1803 I would have voted no to make Napoleon emperor. I would have voted no because, although some of Napoleons laws or rights were good, at different times he changed them. He made rights and laws that benefited the people and others didn't benefit different people so much. Even though Napoleon was a very great general, I would not count on him to make fair laws and rights for all the people.
