Code Napoléon |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Adopted in 1804 and still in effect, the code of French civil law was named in honor of Emperor Napoleon, who participated in its formulation. The Code Napoléon became the model of law for two jurisdictions in North America—the Canadian province of Québec and the U.S. state of Louisiana. | ||||||
