[@revolutionariesoffreedom2374]

He became emperor, not dictator… He knew the senate had to resign by themselves to gain the support of the revolutionaries or else he would be overthrown.. The term Dictator or Despot was considered an insult during the French Revolution The only reason why they resigned is cuz they knew Napoleon was the only one who could save the French Revolution as the campaign of Italy done by Napoleon was successful but the other generals in the north were not that successful and the coalition was approaching Paris… Without Napoleon, the coalition would have reached Paris Everyone was a committed Republican, including napoleon (republican in the sense of supporting the republic, cuz during French Revolution, the term Republican and liberal referred to the same side) The reasons for Napoléon to become emperor was to save French Revolution and to overthrow the 5 members directory committee that was known for corruption Let’s not forget that Napoleon himself was a jacobin and a friend of the brother of Robespierre… Napoleon did in fact supported Robespierre until his last days, even writing letters in favor of Robespierre saying that Robespierre was just the scapegoat of the terror
