Government keeps control of the state and make sure that everyone is obeying the laws
<span>The Code of Hammurabi is a set of rules or</span><span> </span><span>laws</span><span> </span><span>enacted by King Hammurabi of Babylon. The code governed the people living in his rapidly growing empire. By the time that Hammurabi's died, his empire included much of modern-day Iraq, extending up from the Persian Gulf along the Tigris & Euphrates rivers.</span>
There are as many as 300 laws that cover a wide variety of subjects: homicide, assault, divorce, debt, adoption, tradesman’s fees, agricultural practices, & even the brewing of beer!
The code is best known from a stele made of black diorite, more than 7 feet tall, that is now in the Louvre in Paris. The stele was found at the site of Susa, (now modern-day Iran) by excavators who were led by Jacques de Morgan in the early 20th century. Scholars believe that it was brought to Susa in the 12th century B.C. by an Elamite ruler who subsequently erased a portion of it in preparation for inscribing it himself.
Hope this helps! :)
