After the French Revolution

 The "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen," Only white males had rights, not women, not slaves, not native Americans. They wanted Liberty, Freedom, Freedom of speech, and Freedom of Religion.

They were spilt into 3 parts, the Left Wing who wanted to radically change the government, they didn't want a king, a emperor, or a president. Then they were the Centrist, they had moderate views on the government which meant they wanted changes but not to many and not to little. Last but not least, they were the Right Wing, who wanted few or no changes what so ever to the government.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a military genius, because he was sent to a military school at the age of 9. As he grew up he fought in many wars. He seized power in France and proclaimed himself emperor. The people of France liked Napoleon and looked up to him because of how powerful he was and his experience in the military. He took hold of western Europe and most of central Europe, but the people started to rebel against him.

I disagree because, the dictator's can feed people and give them jobs but they might not give the people the rights they want and deserve. The dictator's most likely wont give them the right to vote and they might threaten the people into taking the job and food, but they might not even have a place to live. But the people can react and betray the dictator's to get what they want because they have been bribed and that means that the dictator's are not okay.
