This excerpt from the writings of the great 10th-century Muslim historian Masoudi describes the seventh-century caliph Abu Bakr

the Truthful. Use this excerpt to answer the following question:
During his rule he wore but a single linen garment and a cloak. In this simple dress he gave audience to the chiefs of the noblest Arab tribes and to the kings of Yemen. The latter appeared before him dressed in richest robes, covered with gold embroideries and wearing splendid crowns. But at sight of the Caliph, shamed by his mingling of pious humility and earnest gravity, they followed his example and renounced their gorgeous attire.
—excerpt from The Book of Golden Meadows by Masoudi.

Especially in this case, where the caliph's clothes are described in such detail. </span>

Explain the Code of Hammurabi and name three of its laws.
erastova [34]

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 seven and a half foot stone stele and various clay tablets. The code 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]

Nearly one-half of the code deals with matters of contract, establishing, for example, the wages to be paid to an ox driver or a surgeon. Other provisions set the terms of a transaction, establishing the liability of a builder for a house that collapses, for example, or property that is damaged while left in the care of another. A third of the code addresses issues concerning household and family relationships such as inheritance, divorce, paternity, and sexual behavior. Only one provision appears to impose obligations on an official; this provision establishes that a judge who reaches an incorrect decision is to be fined and removed from the bench permanently.[3] A few provisions address issues related to military service.

The code was discovered by modern archaeologists in 1901, and its editio princeps translation published in 1902 by Jean-Vincent Scheil. This nearly complete example of the code is carved into a basalt stele in the shape of a huge index finger,[4] 2.25 m (7.4 ft) tall. The code is inscribed in the Akkadian language, using cuneiform script carved into the stele. It is currently on display in the Louvre, with replicas in the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, the Clendening History of Medicine Library & Museum at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the library of the Theological University of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, the Pergamon Museumof Berlin, the Arts Faculty of the University of Leuven in Belgium, and the National Museum of Iran in Tehran.

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST How do you think your life might be different if you lived under a dictatorship instead of a democracy?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

I feel like I would possibly be given little to no rights. As a minority myself, it'll be most difficult for me to survive under dictatorship. I wouldn't have any rights as a minority, possibly no self worth, etc. Dictators usually pick out the best people to be treated equally so that possibly will not apply to me or others. So, in conclusion, it'll be much different under a dictatorship than a democracy because of who I am as a person

How were the colonists estranged from King George III?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The colonists were grown further apart from King George III because of his treatment towards them.

Explanation:

most believe that the colonists immediately wanted to be independent from great Britain. But in fact, they simply wanted to be treated as the Englishmen that they were. They were being given all of these taxes, yet had no say in it, as the other Englishmen in great Britain did. As the king ignored this, that is when the popular idea emerged of becoming an independent nation.
