Napoléon's Coup d'état took place in 1799, and not in 1796.

Carnot did indeed oppose Napoleon's progress towards Emperor, but he only left public life in 1807 (and then because the Tribunat, of which he was a member, was abolished; not because he resigned from it). The Fructidor coup was carried out to annul the results of elections at which monarchists had done disconcertingly well, so Carnot leaving the Directory then is not very strong evidence for sincere republican convictions.

I'm not sure that the article text adequately reflects that this is the man who first created and operated a system which was able to raise large armies and support them in the field by conscription, requisition and (in the final analysis) coercion. That discovery/invention has had a profound effect ever since. I have added links to levee en masse and conscription to raise the profile of these points (User:Rjccumbria 10 May 2005)
