Answer:

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes and was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone pillar that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901.

Answer: The Code of Hammurabi is a set of laws created in Mesopotamia around the 18th century BC by a King named Hammurabi during the first Babylonian dynasty.

The code is based on the talon law, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." It was written on a rock by using cuneiform writing.

These laws provided punishments for non-compliance with rules established in various areas such as family relations, commerce, construction, livestock, agriculture. The punishments occurred according to the position that the criminal person held in the social hierarchy.

Modern days most of people do not have this idea to repay the same suffering that was caused, the idea of punishments according to hierarchy. It was an idea from the past, for people that lived in a different society, with a different structure as well.

What was the Munich conference? Why did the French and British give into Hitler's demands?
just olya [345]

On this day in 1938, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, French Premier Edouard Daladier, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sign the Munich Pact, which seals the fate of Czechoslovakia, virtually handing it over to Germany in the name of peace. Upon return to Britain, Chamberlain would declare that the meeting had achieved “peace in our time.”

Although the agreement was to give into Hitler’s hands only the Sudentenland, that part of Czechoslovakia where 3 million ethnic Germans lived, it also handed over to the Nazi war machine 66 percent of Czechoslovakia’s coal, 70 percent of its iron and steel, and 70 percent of its electrical power. It also left the Czech nation open to complete domination by Germany. In short, the Munich Pact sacrificed the autonomy of Czechoslovakia on the altar of short-term peace-very short term. The terrorized Czech government was eventually forced to surrender the western provinces of Bohemia and Moravia (which became a protectorate of Germany) and finally Slovakia and the Carpathian Ukraine. In each of these partitioned regions, Germany set up puppet, pro-Nazi regimes that served the military and political ends of Adolf Hitler. By the time of the invasion of Poland in September 1939, the nation called “Czechoslovakia” no longer existed

Which ""Characteristic of an Absolute Monarch"" (the chart you have in your notes) is best represented by Louis XIV? Explain why
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

<u><em>"I am the state."</em></u>

Explanation:

An absolute monarchy is, a monarchy where all the power was in the King and Queen's hands. Louis XIV regarded as the best example of an absolute monarch in the seventeenth century. He strengthened his power and described his concern to France with the expression, “I am the state”. He broke with tradition and astonished his court by declaring that he would rule without a chief minister. He viewed himself as the direct representative of God, endowed with a divine right to wield the absolute power of the monarchy.

<em>Hope this helps.</em>
