		The original Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoléon (originally called the Code civil des français, or civil code of the French), was the French civil code, established at the behest of Napoléon I.

		In these cases a code becomes a mechanism by which types of behavior can be restricted and regulated into acceptable norms, a set of injunctions prescribing ways to dress, act, or conduct oneself, as in a dress code, code of honor, or ethical code.
		Codes determine a field in which certain meanings are permissible, but cannot be used in themselves to generate an original message, (disregarding for the moment the metal-linguistic message of transgression, of deliberate violation of a code).
		Codes have been capable of recombination and restriction, but as of yet have been restrained from the sphere of semiotic generation--the representation of concepts in themselves, without the mediation of a proper language.

		The Napoleonic Era, a period lasting from 1792-1815 under the control of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), brought many great reforms to Europe, such as the liberation of the peasants from their lords and the elimination of the Spanish Inquisition.
		But the code was modeled after the basic characteristics of justice, and the relationships which occur between one man and another — a drastic change from the previous judicial system, which was heavily influenced by the Catholic church.
		When the Napoleonic Code (also called the Civic Code) was being enacted, the Catholic Church was all but abolished when its courts, tithes, and monastic orders were either eliminated or heavily restricted, stripping it of political influence and funding capabilities.

		Napoleon's conquests had the effect of stimulating liberalism and nationalism in the areas he conquered, as he rewrote their constitutions and reorganized their governments, but generally these sentiments crystallized out of opposition to his rule.
