1) Chadash asur min haTorah is a hashkafic, not a halachic concept which is why there is no definitive solution, even until today.
2) Napoleon’s Sanhedrin, his questions, and how the rabbanim answered. Napoleon’s genius lay in his getting the Jews to articulate and give him the answers he was looking for. What answers they gave him and the issue of a Jew’s dual identity.
