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.

the answer would be a).
