In 1802, the french people voted to keep napoleon in power, giving him the right to

a) serve for fifty years.
b) choose his successor.
c) share supreme power with the pope.
d) choose his replacement as first consul.

 B) Choose his successor.

The referendum not only gave the French leader Napoleon Bonaparte the title of First Consul for Life with almost 100% of public approval but also gave him certain rights that included the right to choose his successor. And so did he tried to do so twelve years later, when he was at war against the coalition victors, who were at a very advantageous position at the time.

He announced that he'd abdicate with the condition of having his three-year-old son as the next Emperor. However, the coalition victors refused and Napoleon ended up renouncing to his own rights as Emperor and to the rights of his descendants too.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
