Is Napoleon considered bad?

Napoleon Bonaparte was neither entirely good nor entirely bad. Reasonable people can disagree about how Napoleon’s life and legacy should be regarded. The answer depends on what you value, and by what standards you are judging him. Below is a brief summary of arguments usually made in favor of, and against, Napoleon 1:

Napoleon was an excellent general. He fought over 70 battles and was defeated in only eight. He transformed the way in which the French army operated and turned France into the greatest military power in Europe. His confidence and ambition inspired his troops, and their victories brought glory to France.
Napoleon brought stable government to France after years of violent political turmoil resulting from the French Revolution of 1789. He granted amnesty to most ;migr;s (royalists who had fled the country after the Revolution), and admitted a number of talented ;migr;s to government service.
Under Napoleon’s guidance, a commission of jurists finished drafting a body of clearly written civil laws to replace the patchwork of customary feudal and religious laws that existed in France (the effort to come up with a rational, uniform set of laws actually started before Napoleon came to power). The code recognized the principles of civil liberty, the equality of men before the law, and the secular nature of the state. The Napoleonic Code influenced the development of legal systems around the world. It remains the basis of civil law in France, Belgium, and many former French colonies.
Napoleon centralized government administration and introduced the prefecture system. He facilitated the adoption of the metric system, built public roads and sewers, and instituted a system of state-supported secondary education through lyc;es. He established a stable single currency and created the Bank of France.
During the French Revolution, the French church was removed from papal authority, church lands and endowments were seized by the state, and most clergy fled the country. In 1801, Napoleon signed a concordat with the Pope. This agreement acknowledged Catholicism as the religion of most French people.
On the other hand:

Napolean had his own excesses including egotistical overreaching and violating many of the principles of the French Revolution .
He also was very sexist .
