Member of the Royal Family (Ben Acker) - Order, Security, and Efficiency

What have the people done to our system of government? Their revolution has wiped out the sensible foundation on which the country sat, and left us with a once loyal general who has been corrupted by the thought of power! What they were thinking when they "revolted" in the first place, I couldn't begin to imagine. All I know is that now, neither of us have benefited. This general known as Napoleon has swooped in, undetected, who first appeared to help our society grow. However, his rise in power has turned him into an emperor, bent on European conquests and increasing his wealth. I believe that the old system of government was not only practical, but necessary. Yes, some of us were exempted from taxation. Yes, some of us were wealthier than others. This is the way it must be to preserve a stable nation! Some must have less if others are to have more. My parents worked their way into a line of royalty, it wasn't handed to them. One must work their way out of poverty or the lower class if they truly wish to join those of us in higher classes.

    Do no criticize Napoleon too harshly! Although Napoleon does appear tyrannical, he did do some great things for France. One such example is providing people jobs depending on their skill and talent, not their ancestry. This action adds to the equality that is vital to everyone.
