Key Concepts & Definitions

First Empire (1804–1814/1815): A regime established by Napoleon Bonaparte that concentrated power in the hands of the emperor, with minimal democratic elements, exemplifying a highly centralized and authoritarian regime with strong executive authority.

Second Empire (1852–1870): Led by Napoleon III, this regime was characterized by a strong executive with imperial powers, combining authoritarian rule with limited parliamentary influence, and emphasizing order and stability over democratic processes.

Consulat (1799–1804): A regime initiated after the coup of 18 Brumaire, where Napoleon Bonaparte held executive power as First Consul, establishing a strong, centralized authority that diminished parliamentary power, serving as a transitional regime toward empire.

Constitution of 1793: A revolutionary constitution that aimed to establish a democratic regime based on popular sovereignty, but was never implemented; it proposed a regime of assembly with significant social rights, contrasting with later regimes emphasizing strong executive power.
