Explanation:

Question 1

The full quote from Napoleon is "I intend to keep the Revolution’s beneficial changes, but not to abandon the good institutions it overthrew." This is based on historical knowledge of Napoleon's stance towards the French Revolution's legacy.

• Under the King (Ancien Régime): Education was controlled by the Catholic Church. Only the wealthy and nobility had access to quality education; the curriculum focused on religious teachings, classical languages (Latin, Greek), and was elitist. Most common people were illiterate.
• During the Revolution: The state took control of education from the Church. There were efforts to provide education for all (including commoners), with a more secular curriculum (less religious focus, more on civic virtues, science, and practical skills). Plans for public education systems were developed, aiming for universal access (though fully realized later).

Under Napoleon:

• Control: State (Napoleon’s government) tightly controlled education.
• Purpose: To train loyal citizens and future government/business/military leaders.
• Structure: Established a centralized system (lycées for secondary education, focusing on science, math, literature, and military discipline; primary schools for basics). Education was still somewhat elitist (lycées for upper/middle classes, but more accessible than Ancien Régime for some).
• Curriculum: Secular but with emphasis on loyalty to Napoleon and the state; classical studies, science, and military values were promoted. Religious education was still present but subordinate to state control.

Answer:

I intend to keep the Revolution’s \underline{beneficial} changes, but not to abandon the good institutions it \underline{overthrew}.
