Democratic Ideals

Before the French Revolution, there were numerous legal and political injustices that the French people had to deal with. Only some the common people's legal and political rights were possessed by members of noble families.

Napoleon's victory helped popularize democracy by demonstrating that a country may be governed successfully without the influence of a king. Their main goal was to promote equality in terms of rights, legislation, religion, and free expression.

Full democracy did not come about right away, but it did result in some favorable improvements, such as the abolition of the monarchy and the nobility. The idea that every person should have equal rights, be treated fairly, and be safeguarded by the government came into being over time.

The democratic state, which includes secularism, the freedoms of speech and religion, the rights of women, the redistribution of wealth, and the abolition of hereditary privileges, was brought about by the French Revolution.
