I thought Poles liked Napoleon.

Some didn't resist, they were called "afrancesados"
This such a stupid question, it is obvious

They wanted Bourbon cock along with all the STDs of poverty, incompetence, archaic institutions, broke economy, and so on in their asses.
So much so that after their Bourbon masters came back to rape them they cried crocodile tears again in 1820s so Spanish Bourbons had to beg French Bourbons to come and invade Spain, Again.
Fast forward another decade and they began chimping out against each other because they wanted the French liberalism of Joseph Bonaparte to modernize the country which spiralled into a series of wars known as Liberal Wars in Spain.

Napoleon was a secular enlightened despot. He dissolved the joke that was Papal States and put the Pope in house arrest in 1809.

Napoleon deposed their king and was seen as hostile to their religion.
Naturally that really offended the Spaniards.
Back then people really placed a lot of respect on the concept of monarchy. They could do no wrong in the eyes of most people.

Hell even in the United States war of Independence for a time the militia fighting the British army conceptualized themselves as only at war with the parliament, and still loyal to George III

>war of """"independence""""
>it's all about replacing the wrong French king by the good French king
you couldn't make that up

The Spanish actually welcomed the constitution and liberal reforms. I think it might have something to do with wanting to put Napoleon's brother on the throne by force but that's just me.
