O Código Napoleónico, promulgado entre 1803-1805, foi uma codificação abrangente de civil law[1] que substituiu os antigos privilégios jurídicos franceses por princípios de igualdade legal. Desenvolvido sob Napoleão Bonaparte, organizou sistematicamente o law[3] civil em áreas como casamento, herança e direitos de propriedade. Influenciado pelo Código Justiniano e ideais da Revolução Francesa, o código foi estruturado em três livros que abrangiam pessoas, propriedade e aquisição de propriedade. A sua abordagem inovadora equilibrou conceitos jurídicos tradicionais com princípios modernos, enfatizando a praticidade e os direitos de propriedade individual. A linguagem[2] clara e acessível do código tornou a law[4] mais compreensível para o público. O seu impacto significativo estendeu-se além da França, sendo adotado em diversos países, incluindo Itália, Países Baixos, Bélgica, e influenciando sistemas de direito civil na Suíça, Alemanha e partes da América do Norte. O Código Napoleónico representou uma conquista fundamental na sistematização jurídica e permanece um marco crucial no desenvolvimento do direito civil moderno.

The Napoleonic Code itself deals only with issues of civil lawThe Code of Civil Procedure was also published, such as persons, property and the acquisition of property. Other codes were subsequently published dealing with criminal law, criminal procedure law e commercial law. The Napoleonic Code also did not deal with how laws and norms should be drafted, which is a matter for a new book. Constitution.
However, the Napoleonic Code was not the first legal code to be established in a European nation, having been preceded by the Codex Maximilianeus bavaricus civilis (Kingdom of Bavaria1756), by Allgemeines Landrecht (Kingdom of Prussia1792) and by Western Galician Code (Galicia, at the time part of the Austria, 1797). Although it was not the first to be created, it is considered the first to have achieved irrefutable success and to have influenced the legal systems of several other countries.
This Code, deliberately accessible to a wider public, was an important step in establishing the rule of law.
