Napoleon implemented a system in which he granted titles and land to people who would support him financially. This approach resembles feudalistic relationships from Louis XVI’s time, where loyalty and service were often rewarded with land and privileges. In both systems, the ruler had control over land and resources, and those who were loyal to the ruler received benefits, creating a hierarchical structure based on allegiance and support. This patronage system mirrored the feudal bonds between lords and vassals in the past, emphasizing dependency on the ruling authority for social and economic security.
