When did the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Napoleonic Code come into being?
The Declaration of Human Rights came into being in the period of constitutional monarchy (1789-1792), which revealed the principle of freedom and equality of natural human rights, denied the feudal hierarchy, became an ideological weapon for the bourgeoisie to seize and consolidate political power, and fixed the political opinions of enlightenment thinkers in legal form. The appearance of the Napoleonic Code during the first Napoleonic Empire (1804- 18 14) was conducive to the political stability and development of capitalism and became the legislative norm of capitalist society.
