Many of the legal, administrative, and economic reforms of the revolutionary period were left intact; the Napoleonic Code, which guaranteed some legal equality and civil liberties to men, the peasants' biens nationaux, and the new system of dividing the country into départments were not undone by the new king.
Most of the reforms implemented during the revolutionary period were retained; the Napoleonic Code ensured certain legal rights and freedoms for men, while the peasants' national estates and the departmental division system continued to function under the new monarch.
