Answer:

Hammurabi’s Code is one of the earliest collections of law. It was created in Babylonia around 1760 BC and it has a total of 282 sections of the law engraved on a stone boat in a public place. The law is named after Hammurabi, the then king of Babylon.  

The basic idea of ​​the law has been said to be the principle "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth", but also Hammurabi's Code provided for penalties for various violent and other crimes and debts according to the same principle. However, in some cases, even under Hammurabi's Code, violent crimes were punishable only by a fine, especially if the crime was committed against a person of a lower estate.

The law dealt mainly with theft, pastoral issues, property damage, women’s rights, marriage, children’s rights, slave rights, murder and various assaults, and death. The punishments were different for members of different social groups. The law does not mention anything about taxation.

What were causes of sectionalism?
Leto [7]

The correct answers are A) economic differences, B) the presidential election of 1860, D) social differences, and E) the issue of slavery.

<em>The following were causes of sectionalism: A) economic differences, the presidential election of 1860, social differences, and the issue of slavery.</em>

Sectionalism divided the United States into many forms. It confronted American people on a variety of issues that ended up in a bloody Civil War. The presidential election of 1860 divided the nation. Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln defeated Democratic candidate Stephen A Douglass, and Constitutional Union candidate Jhon Bell. There were many economic differences that divided poor people that tried to make a living with the wealthier people. This created social differences that were notorious and showed the lack of basic things that many people had. And of course, slavery, the issue that divided the North against the South. The Northern states supported desegregation laws while in the South they were against desegregation. For the Southern states, slavery was the base of the economy in the farm fields.
