History / Napoleonic rule in Italy
Italian term or phrase: ampliamento della base sociale
Speaking of the constitution drawn up in 1802 for the Italian Republic (under Napoleon).

"Il testo costituzionale, simile al modello francese, si allontanava dalla democrazia vagheggiata durante la Repubblica Cisalpina e accentrava il potere allo stato, pur permettendo un **ampliamento della base sociale**, chiamata a essere solidale col regime"

Okay, so I know that this constitution basically gave full executive power to Napoleon, but I'm not sure I even understand what is meant by "ampliamento della base sociale" here.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
