Although you did not specify the civilizations you should compare Hammurabi's code with, here I leave relevant points about the code that may help you:

  • Hammurabi's code is a collection of laws carved in a stone pillar during the Babylonian emperor Hammurabi's realm. After conquering the land within the Mesopotamian valley, he needed to unify the territory of his empire under the same laws. It is the first written code of laws.
  • As laws were written, judges could not change them at the moment. This was a guarantee of justice for citizens. Other civilizations like the Romans and Hebrews also had written codes of laws.
  • The code includes mainly a list of crimes and punishments established for them. The punishments defer according to the social rank of the victim and the criminal.
  • Punishments could be payments in species or metals, but also corporal, following the "eye for an eye" criteria of justice, or Tallion's law. This concept of justice can also be found in old Hebrew tradition, and in the Quran.

Why did napoleon sell Louisiana territory to the united states
Kruka [31]
There are actually two reasons why Napoleon did so. One was because he knew that if he had held on to it, the United States would start a conflict, and he didn't want that to happen. Also, this is the most important reason, by him helping the United States, and him helping the French treasury at the same time, Napoleon was able to create a world with so much power, that he was able to challenge Britain.
