The original intention was to introduce French laws (Napoleonic Code et al.), but it soon became apparent that this would have been unfeasible due to the popular perceptions and customs, especially in property, inheritance and marital affairs.
Prvotna namjera je bila potpuno uvesti francuske zakone (Code Napoleon i druge), no ubrzo se pokazalo, da bi to bilo upravo neprovedivo zbog narodnih shvaćanja i običaja, naročito u vlasničkim, nasljednim i ženidbenim poslovima.
