Overtime, how did Hammurabi's Code influence ideas about government?

History
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the first legislative compilations of the civilized world, coming from Mesopotamia around the year 1700 BC.

This Code laid the foundations of social coexistence in Mesopotamian cities, basing its legislation on the Talion Law, by which all action required a consequence of a similar or identical nature to the contrary. Thus, there was the first documented case of retributive justice, in which people received consequences according to the actions they took.

This principle, synthesized in the phrase "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", laid the foundations of what we now know as justice, since it gave each action a logical result. Thus, today governments apply a commutative and corrective justice evolved from this ancient way of imparting justice, but continuing with the conception that every action has a necessary consequence.

Using China's commerce power to advance their diplomacy is known as?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Economic diplomacy

Explanation:

Economic diplomacy is a central aspect of Chinese foreign policy. During China's remarkable economic rise, it has used economic diplomacy primarily through trade, and the use of carrots as a means to accumulate or attract soft power. This was a part of the broader strategy formulated by think tanks in the PRC during the 1990s titled the new security concept. It is referred to in the West as the period of "China's Peaceful Rise".[6]

Recently, China has changed its strategic doctrine and begun to use economic diplomacy as a coercive tool. After 10 years or so of a policy based primarily on economic carrots, China has begun to show a willingness to use economic diplomacy for coercive means.[7] This is evidenced in the September 2010 incident that blocked shipments of rare earth minerals to Japan. Another incident took place in 2012 in the Philippines, where China sent a gunboat in to enforce trade restricts. China's willingness to use bring in warships during trade disputes is reminiscent to an earlier era of American gunboat diplomacy.[8]

Recent history shows that as China grows more confident, we will see it gradually move away from an economic diplomacy policy of carrots, to sticks.

5. How did the power of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: They knew they had to unite to avoid defeat.

Explanation:

The Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan swept across the world in the second World War and with overwhelming strength and tactics, overwhelmed many areas that were not supposed to have fallen so easily.

In Europe for instance, the Germans crushed the British and French armies such that France was defeated and occupied in a month and the British had to be evacuated frantically. Germany then went on to conquer most of Europe and began attacking Africa. When they launched an attack into the Soviet Union, they almost captured Moscow.

In Asia, Japan swept across the islands and nations of east Asia and captured massive territories in China as well as capturing the Philippians and Indonesia. They also attacked Hawaii in a bid to destroy the U.S. Pacific fleet.

When the allies saw the massive Axis war machine and power that faced them, they knew they had to unite to stand a chance of winning. This led to the Communist Soviet Union and the Western powers of Britain and the U.S. uniting against the Axis even though they did not trust one another.
