During the French Revolution I often hear that Napolean Boneparte's contemporary, Maximilien Robespierre, fell from political power (and was ultimately executed) because he was perceived by the people as a dictator.
How then, was Napoleon accepted for pursuing the powers and control he did during the French Revolution, if people were so apprehensive about dictators?

Of course if you're seeking a "second opinion" of sorts that's fine, just wanted to make sure you saw that I had answered. Let me know if you have more questions!
