Bad because it spawned an even more violent and totalitarian regime that beheaded tens of thousands of people, led to dozens of wars across Europe, and an eventual dictatorship under the emperor which was ultimately reverted back to monarchism once he was defeated.
Basically a lot of carnage for the same end result as what was before.
The real liberalization revolutions didnt happen until 1830 and 1848.

In non-shitholes that is, and even there the franchise was limited. You had to wait for primary education to soften the rabble and abolish it.

For 30 years or so. It only delayed the inevitable. Ultimately they won through war but the values were too superior to be destroyed.
1848 had very little to do with Napoleon and even the French revolution, The 1848 revolutions happened almost across the entire continent.
Liberalism and nationalism developed mostly during the Enlightenment and the French Revolution though.
Terrible but louis was weak like Nicholas ii. He should have not ceded so much ground to their demands initially because he thought it would satisfy them but it just made them sense weakness and get more blood hungry
It was good and necessary as the threat of a counterrevolution and a restoration of the monarchy was absolutely credible and has since been proven, the only bad thing is that it didn’t go further.

It was ultimately good.
The monarchy was restored when Napoleon was defeated.
Absolutely pointless.
The Congress of Vienna couldn't put the cat back into the bag.

That painting was likely completely fabrical as well, Napoleon would never pose for a painter.
