6 0
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian code of law of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC (Middle Chronology). It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a 2.25 metre (7.5 ft) stone stele and consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" (lex talionis)[1] as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man or woman.[2]

If you could only keep 3 Amendments, which ones would you keep? Give specific reasons why you would keep the most important one.
nikklg [1K]

Answer: If I had to keep only three amendments I would keep the 1st, 15th, and 19th amendments. I would keep the first amendment because it grants people the right to religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the right to peacefully assemble.  Those rights are very important because they give people freedom to express themselves. I would keep the 15th amendment, because it grants people the right to vote in US election no matter their race, color, ect... The last amendment I would keep is the 19th amendment, this amendment grants women the right to vote in US elections. I want to keep this amendment, because women deserve the right to vote, and to be treated as equals.

The two amendments I would cancel are the 16th amendment, and the 18th amendment. I cancel the 16th amendment because I do not feel that the government should get to take from my money. I would cancel the 18th amendment, because I do not think that it is important enough to be in the Us constitution.

Explanation: I had some trouble on the cancel part of this so look it over and see if you want to use it, but other than that I hope this helped :)
