In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Napoleon's most enduring legacy: the Napoleonic Code. Adopted in 1804 as the Code Civil des Français, it replaced a patchwork of feudal laws with a single, secular legal framework. Learn about the four-man drafting commission led by Jean-Étienne-Marie Portalis, the debates over divorce and paternal authority, and how the code spread across Europe—from the Grand Duchy of Warsaw to the Kingdom of Italy. Lucas explains how the Code's principles of equality before the law, property rights, and religious freedom influenced civil codes from Louisiana to Latin America, while also discussing its limitations for women and workers. #NapoleonicCode #CodeCivil #Napoleon #LegalHistory #Portalis #CivilLaw #FrenchRevolution #EqualityBeforeTheLaw #Divorce #PaternalAuthority #Louisiana #GrandDuchyOfWarsaw #KingdomOfItaly #Europe #FexingoHistory #History #NapoleonicWars #CodeNapoleon Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
