Answer:

The Napoleonic Code was created to align the laws to work better with the likes of the French Revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Napoleon set out to reform the French legal system in accordance with the ideas of the French Revolution, because the old feudal and royal laws seemed confusing and contradictory. After multiple rejected drafts by other commissions, a fresh start was made after Napoleon came to power in 1799.
