Question

After graduating from a military academy Napoleon joined the French army. Throughout the French Revolution Napoleon continued his service in the army and, as the new French Republic was struggling for survival, Napoleon (who was stationed in southern France), went to Italy to inspect their fortifications. While Napoleon was in Italy, Robespierre, who had been leading the Radical Republic, was arrested and executed. When Napoleon returned from Genoa (a city state in modern Italy) he was arrested for previously plotting with Robespierre to establish a dictatorship in France. Napoleon’s friends advised him to escape because they thought he would be executed in the same manner as Robespierre.

What would you do?
A) Try to escape.
B) Ask for a trial and prepare to defend yourself against the charges.
C) Do nothing in hopes that the charges will be dropped.

Answer 1

Option: B) Ask for a trial and prepare to defend yourself against the charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be a cowardly act to run away from the accusation which has been put on me. It would be better to ask for a trial and to defend against the charges that have put on. I would succeed in getting victory over the attacks because of my past background and accomplishment.
