By Robert Burnham. Napoleon's most lasting effect on France and much of the world was the set of civil laws that he instituted that still bears his name to this day. This code was so impressive that by 1960 over 70 different states either modeled their own laws after them or adopted them verbatim.t guaranteed civil liberties. Despite these strengths, in the eyes of the modern world the Code had several weaknesses, particularly when it pertained to women and minors: A woman could not vote. A wife owed obedience to her husband, who had total control over their property.
