Napoleon implemented a system in which he granted titles and land to people who would support him financially.
This response highlights how Napoleon, much like the feudal structure of Louis XVI's time, relied on a network of loyalties and mutual obligations. In feudalism, lords granted land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. Similarly, Napoleon’s granting of titles and land to individuals who supported him financially created a new ruling class that depended on personal allegiance and service to maintain their position and wealth, mirroring the hierarchical and reciprocal nature of feudal relationships.
