Napoleon changed the law code in France primarily through the introduction of the Napoleonic Code, which featured the following key points:
1. **He guaranteed people equality before the law** - The Napoleonic Code established the principle of legal equality among all citizens, eliminating privileges based on birth and promoting a merit-based society.
2. **He reduced the amount of legal protections** - While the code aimed to simplify and standardize laws, it also diminished certain legal protections, particularly for women and workers, who found themselves with fewer rights compared to the pre-revolutionary period.
Thus, the correct responses would highlight his efforts towards legal equality as well as the reduction of some legal protections.
