Answer:
Coup d'état
Explanation:
In 1799, Napoleon gained political power for the first time in a coup d'état. The existing governing body, a five-member Directory, was replaced with a three-person Consulate as a result of the coup. The first consul, Napoleon, wielded effective control; the other two consuls were only figureheads.
