The thing that Napoleonic Code have in common with the principles of the Enlightenment was that it guaranteed equality of all the citizens under the law. This was a very important aspect of both the Napoleonic Code and the Enlightenment. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

it ensured that careers would be open on the basis of merit and not privileges of birth.

It did not guarantee women equal rights but confirmed the existing supremacy of men over women; women had fewer rights than children.

It didn't either enshrine individual rights or the security of the state- there was a balance
