Answer:    The Hammurabi code was more strict than the earlier Sumerian laws, and influenced later Greek and Roman legislation

Explanation:  One of the oldest known Sumerian laws is the Ur-Nammu Law, which regulated offenses such as dealing with witchcraft, fugitive slaves, punishments for physical harm, etc. Generally, although Sumerian laws were inspired by divine elements, they were secular, and the characteristic feature of Sumerian rule in Mesopotamia is that all other entities together with Sumerians were in contact with each other, exchanging civilization achievements and advancing them. Also, in the implementation of the Sumerian laws, the characteristic is that the essential, innate laws were not discussed, these laws were simply deeply rooted in customs and were not discussed. Specific situations, disputes, penalties were discussed.

During the reign of the Babylonian Dynasty, specifically Hammurabi, one of the most famous ancient laws was recorded. Hammurabi ruled Mesopotamia as a righteous ruler, and his laws, 282 of them, applied to everyone. However, these laws are strictly "an eye for an eye" and have been implemented in all areas of daily life, business, agriculture, family, divorce, theft, penalties, etc. It was an advanced law during that time, which, for example, protected the rights of women in the family, and harsh penalties were imposed to stop blood feuds. The code was accurately and clearly written, published and accessible to all. Hammurabi also imposed on everyone in Mesopotamia, therefore all entities, that they must worship one Babylonian deity.

What were the European views of Imperalism??
Natali5045456 [20]
Western Europe valued imperialism. For example, Great Britain was known for the numerous colonies that they had. There is a quote that states, "The Sun never sets on Great Britain" meaning that they had so many colonies around the world that the Sun never set on them. In addition, countries such as France and Spain also imperialized especially in the New Worl. However, Eastern Europe was always less developed than Western Europe so they didn't have the power to colonize countries. I hope this help! Good luck!
