his civil code codified the legal and property rights of french citizens.
he promoted the equality of women under french law.
The Napoleonic Code (Civil Code) was a significant legal reform. It codified rights such as equality before the law (for men, as women still had limitations), property rights, and legal procedures. This was in line with Enlightenment ideas of rational - based law and natural rights. Abolishing organized religion was not a main way he reinforced these values (he had a Concordat with the Catholic Church). And while there were some aspects in the Civil Code regarding women, it did not truly promote full equality for women.
