Bab 164: The Beginning of the Modernization of Paris

July 1st, 1800.

Napoleon presented the proposal to create the new ministry, which is the Ministry of Urban Development and Infrastructure to the Council of Ministers. The bill outlined the purpose, responsibilities, and funding required for the ministry's functioning. The Council of Ministers, composed of high-ranking government officials and ministers, discussed and approved the bill, endorsing the vision for progress.

The bill then faced scrutiny in the legislative body, which comprised the Tribunat and the Corps Législatif. There were debates, amendments, and votes, as lawmakers assessed the proposal's impact. Despite disagreements, the shared goal of modernizing France united them. The bill emerged stronger from this process and moved forward to the Senate.
