Impact

Not rated yet: the verified records linked to this person, without a numeric impact.

Editorial assessment (context, not the score)

The record is not a Civil-Code saint and not a unique 1812 integer. The heaviest documented costs are Brumaire, the 1802 slavery statute, Saint-Domingue, Spain, and 1812. The offsets are the Code as access (with family hierarchy split), Concordat, lycées, and a bank. Confidence is high on those dates, medium on unique campaign death totals. Confidence is stated on dated offices, books, and campaigns, not on later statues.

The first fact about his power is Brumaire. The second is a code. The third is 1802 slavery.

What went wrong

Brumaire, Enghien, slavery restoration, Saint-Domingue, Spain, 1812, Continental System, press police, décret infâme. Unique 1812 integers stay estimates.

What improved

Civil Code access, Concordat, lycées, Bank, cadastre, consistories, Institut d'Égypte, Légion. Family-code hierarchy and 1808 restrictions are split costs.
