Napoleon's existence as an emperor contradicted the goal of the Frnech Revolution. Napoleon was more individually powerful than any King had ever been. He wasn't bad to his people, though, he preserved their limited ideals of equality and respected documents such as The Rights of Man. He wasn't an evil person, but the fact that he had absolute power at all autimatically tramples over the ideas of the French Revolution.
