To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to voice my opinions on why Napoleon Bonaparte should be reinstated as the head of France. From the start of his rise to power Napoleon knew that he must become both a statesman and a tyrant. He had to consolidate the Revolution and bind together the different social classes of the French nation. Napoleon provided France with a strong centralized government. He created an army of officials, civil servants, and bureaucrats which reaced into every village, town and city. In doing so, the entire nation was linked together under rational administration. This resulted in the concentration of power under Napoleon and provided him with taxes and soldiers. In terms of religion, Napoleon felt that it was the cement that held society together. Napoleon looked on Christianity as the basis of all real civilization and considered Catholicism as the form of worship most favorable to the maintenance of order and the true tranquility of the moral world.
