Answer:

The code regulated trade, business, and social relationships in Babylon. It also teaches us about Mesopotamian society such as their class divisions and political economic factors. Hammurabi's code was a very modern concept for this time and has influenced all the populations since then.

Explanation:

Elements of legal thinking present in Hammurabi's time still exist today. The Code assumes a person's innocence, for example, pending evidence to the contrary. The Mesopotamian legal system gave both accused and accuser a chance to state their cases before a judge.

Anit [1.1K]

"Beyond a reasonable doubt" which a legal standard of guilt in Texas was used in criminal cases. It is the standard that should be met by the evidence of the prosecution in a criminal case. This means that there should be no other logical explanation that can be derived from facts not including the fact the suspect or defendant committed such crime.
