Remember that Napoleon came to power in France after very chaotic and dangerous times that had occurred during the French Revolution. Indeed, Napoleon's rise to power in France came as he used cannons packed like shotguns to fire grapeshot (like a big shotgun shell) at a mob of royalists who had taken to the streets against the new republican government established in 1795. Napoleon portrayed himself as a representative of the French Revolution, but what he really represented was stability and law and order after many years of unrest and disarray. Thus the people of France were willing to put their confidence in him and even look upon him as "Emperor of the French."
The situation since 9-11 (Sep. 11, 2001) in the United States has not been as chaotic as the days of the French Revolution had been. But there has been widespread fear of terrorism, and people have been willing to give up many personal liberties if they think it gives them more security and safety. Think of how willingly people allow themselves to be subjected to body scanning and more in order to board an airplane, for instance. Or how we have allowed state and national law enforcement agencies wide latitude in collecting data about citizens' phone calls, Internet traffic, etc. (Look up National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance, for instance.
This debate about which approach is better or worse is as age-old as the political perspectives of Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who was all about ensuring security, vs. those of John Locke (1632-1704), who was a champion of individual liberties.
