Napoleonic code is a law that was first created that is similar to what we have now. The Napoleonic code was a form of law that every one was under. The code was origally the code civil des Francais. The code took the name of the Napoleonic code due to the fact that Napoleon had related it and put it in affect. The code made every thing more in cement. The code had made judges enforce the laws and follow through with Justice. The code prohibited secret laws and ex post facto laws that applied to events that happened in the past. The code made it more simple for the people to understand than the old French legal system the had seemed to confuse to the people. Having laws that confuse the people that are sopposed to be following them is pointless because they wouldn’t know what would be right or wrong according to the law.. Work Cited: Author unknown.

Elysium is a place in Greek mythology. It is comparable to the idea of heaven. According to Homer, “the Elysian Fields were in the Western Ocean: there dwelt heroes under the rule of Rhadamanthus” (Scull 101). Rhadamanthus is the judge of the dead in the underworld. It was believed that those who did heroic deeds were granted a life in Elysium. It is considered a divine place. The word Elysium means a divine nature of a given thing or place.
