P.S. Napoleon actually re-instituted the ancient Sanhedrin at one point.
Napoleon, paradoxically, can be viewed both as a tyrant and as a progressive. Among his fans was Beethoven, until Napoleon crossed the line and seemed more a tyrant than a friend of liberty. Many Jews were in the forefront of what they saw as movement toward reason and progress and away from superstition and the Ancien Regime.
Napoleon also "united" Poland and improved the educational system, which was once one of the best in Europe but had fallen on hard times since the partition. He is considered a hero by many Poles.
