Question

Once exiled to Elba, Napoleon was able to bring to the island people the same system of
government tried to set up in Europe. Why was Napoleon allowed to live out his
remaining days on this small island?

Because the people of France had seen so much death and destruction throughout the revolution they had dismantled their guillotines.

Napoleon was allowed to live because of a law put into the French constitution after the death of revolutionary King Louis XVI.

The people who overthrew Napoleon understood that he had supporters who might start another uprising if he were executed.

The people of the island of Elba asked that Napoleon come to their island to set up a new government much like that of France.

Answer 1

The third option is correct.

Those who removed Napoleon chose exile rather than execution because he still had many supporters; exile to Elba removed him from power while reducing the risk of making him a martyr and provoking further uprisings.
