Dear Diary,

I, Napoleon Bonaparte, have finally succeeded! I have become the new strong leader of France. Thanks to the Revolution, I advanced from the position of lieutenant in the artillery to a full-fledged general, which changed my life entirely and gave me a world full of power. I am known to be our nation's savior and am treated as a hero to everyone. Yes, I know people do not like dictatorship and a complete ruler over the whole, but I am going to be a dictator with the utmost power. But I am not that foolish to be so obvious. I will hold a referendum in which all French law, which explains the principle of equality of all citizens before the law. Therefore, there would no longer be special privileges to the wealthier, but instead, everything, including promotions in the army and the government, would be based on the workers' skills and achievement. As with the problem with religion, now I declare that all people have their right to choose their religion and what they believe, freedom of religion. I have made an agreement with the pope to ensure the church's safety while the government would control over the Catholic Church. I am going to be the world's best and most successful ruler, and will rule all of Europe.
