"Napoleon included many ideals of the Enlightenment in the legal systems he created."
Brief explanation: Napoleon codified Enlightenment principles in the Napoleonic (Civil) Code and other reforms — equality before the law, protection of property, secular law, merit-based administration, civil liberties like religious toleration — while still concentrating political power in his own hands. The other choices are incorrect: he did not simply copy the American Bill of Rights; the constitution he imposed did not enshrine broad democratic freedoms (it centralized authority in Napoleon); and the Treaty of Versailles is unrelated.
