A few days after Napoleon and the consuls overthrew the Directory, the consuls issued the statement below. People of France: Swear with us to be true to the Republic one and indivisible, founded on equality, liberty, and the representative system. What were the consuls asking the people of France to do?

However, it was soon engulfed with wides[presad famine, war with neighboring nations, and even internal conflicts between revolutionaries and royalists. Moreover, these factors combined with corruption gave for Napoean to seize power, and his government called Consulate. The above statement reflects the zeal of the new government to gather public support.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.
