The continuity between Louis XVI’s reign and Napoleon’s can best be identified through **the use of a ruling class based on titles and granting of land for support**.
During both Louis XVI's reign and Napoleon's rule, there was a reliance on a hierarchical structure that included the nobility and appointed officials who were granted titles and land in exchange for loyalty and service to the state. While Louis XVI's reign was characterized by the traditional monarchy, Napoleon established a new nobility and a merit-based system that still retained the importance of titles and landownership, particularly as he sought to stabilize and legitimize his own rule after the upheaval of the Revolution.
The other options reflect different political and social dynamics that changed between the two leaders, especially with the rise of nationalistic feelings and constitutional desires during and after the Revolution.
