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.

How did the 16th 19th and 26th amendment to change the relationship between state governments in the federal government
pishuonlain [190]

The 16th, 19th, and 26th amendment changed the relationship between the state and federal government by giving more control to the federal government.

For example, the 16th amendment resulted in the creation of the federal income tax. This resulted in a consistent stream of revenue going to the federal government. Before this time, many taxes were decided by state governments.

The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. This ensured that all states that had laws against women being able to vote would now have to get rid of these laws.

The 26th amendment gave citizens 18 years or older to vote. This infringed upon the rights of state governments as well, as they were the ones who decided the voting age for citizens within their state.

A triangle has dimensions represented by the expressions shown.
Marizza181 [45]

The correct answer is 9y + 3

Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle can be find by adding its sides. This means to find the perimeter of the triangle shown it is necessary to add the three expressions given. Additionally, in this case, the expressions combine the letter y and regular numbers.

Due to this, the first step is to add all the "y" expressions and the numbers beside them, this means 2y + 4y + 3y = 9y, and then,  the numbers remaining: +5 -2 =3. According to this, if the three sides are added to find the perimeter the final expression is 9y + 3.
