Answer 2

Answer:

False, Hammurabi did not encourage future rulers to amend his laws appropriately to their circumstances.

Explanation:

"The Code of Hammurabi" is a set of texts that details the punishments to be rendered to anyone violating any code of life. The text or rules were made by the King of Babylon, Hammurabi. This consists of 282 rules that the people have to follow and keep. In the epilogue of this Code, he mentions that "May he not alter the judgments of the land which I have pronounced, or the decisions of the country which I have rendered! May he not efface my statues! " Also, "if that man pay attention to my words which I have written upon my monument, do not efface my judgments, do not overrule my words, and do not alter my statues, then will Shamash prolong that man’s reign". These dictates that he wants the future rulers to stick to his code and not change any part of it.
