Most of the Popes of the Renaissance period (1450-1600) were very 'worldly' (that is rich and immoral politicians) instead of real 'churchmen' (Adrian VI being an exception). Their policies for the most part were to.....
1. Build and take over the 'Papal States' of central Italy giving Popes an actual 'country' to be in charge of.
2. Break the power of and make war on rival 'great families' of Italy using foreign troops/ mercenaries (most of the Renaissance Popes were from rich Italian great families such as the Medici, Farnese, etc. they used their position as Pope to take out rival families such as the Orsini, Colonna etc.).
3.Being rich and used to riches they beautified Rome with art, jewels, gold, fountains, architecture.
The impact on the Church was that no one was really paying attention to running it, just using it, or paying attention to religious matters. To the truly religious the Popes behavior of the times were mostly disgusting. The 'Reformation' and Protestantism (the religious breaking away and starting their own independent Churches) started elsewhere in Europe during the period as a result.

Explain the connection between the coup d'état of 1799 and the emergence of the consulate
Nataliya [291]
The coup that took place in 1799 was planned by Napoleon Bonaparte in collusion with Abbe Sieyes and Talleyrand.  The intent was to overthow the Directory and bring a Consulate to power, consisting of Bonaparte, Sieyes, and a 3rd member, Roger-Duclos.  Shortly thereafter a constitution was adopted which gave the First Consul the overarching power -- and that was Napoleon's position.  Thus the French Revolution came to an end and Napoleon came into power.
