Model Answer
Napoleon introduced the following reforms in territories under his control:
- Napoleonic Code: Abolished privileges based on birth, established equality before the law, and secured the right to property.
- Administrative reforms: Abolished feudalism and serfdom, and set up an efficient bureaucracy with uniform laws for all citizens.
- Economic measures: Abolished internal customs duties, introduced a uniform system of weights and measures, and reduced the number of currencies, enabling free movement of goods.

Explanation
- The question asks for three reforms — give exactly three, each clearly labelled or separated.
- Each point should be distinct: legal (Napoleonic Code), administrative (abolition of feudalism/serfdom), and economic (customs/currency). Don't repeat the same idea.
- Examiners award 1 mark per valid reform — a one-line description for each is sufficient; no need to elaborate beyond that.
- Avoid listing Treaty of Vienna points — those were undoing Napoleon's work, not his reforms.
