Answer: The Code of Hammurabi focuses on punishment for crimes, while Magna Carta does not.

Explanation:

The Code of Hammurabi is a well­preserved Babylonian law code of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC (Middle Chronology). The code consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man. While the Magna Carta is a medieval document that represents the foundation of civil liberties around the globe. As we can see, the difference remains at the punishment side, included only at the Code of Hammurabi

During the Pre-dynastic period of Egypt, were the people polytheistic
Elden [556K]

Answer: Yes

The Pre-dynastic period in the history of Egypt is the time period that spans from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic Age, before recorded history. It is generally accepted to have lasted from c. 6000-3150 BCE. There are no written records of this era, but archaeological excavations provide some information about the society during this time period.

It is believed that the religion of Ancient Egypt originated during this period. Elaborate burials suggest that people believed in an afterlife, and the ritual burial of animals might mean that the Egyptians believed in zoomorphic gods (gods with animal form). It is likely that each city had its own patron god, and as the cities grew and came into contact they were all included in a complex pantheon.

according to the lyrics of fair and free elections, what were some of the issues of the 1800 presidential election?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

There were a number of pressing issues debated during the presidential campaign. The major foreign policy debate revolved around the appropriate American response to the French Revolution. Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans were sympathetic to France, while the Federalists leaned more toward Britain, fearing the growing radicalism of the French Revolution and attempting to prevent the United States from being drawn into the conflict. The Federalist party’s pro-British stance led to accusations that Adams and his compatriots were seeking to undo the political effects of the American Revolution and restore the monarchy.The Alien and Sedition Acts, which John Adams had signed into law in 1798, were another point of contention. The acts made it more difficult for immigrants to become US citizens, and included a provision criminalizing false statements critical of the federal government. This provision was squarely aimed at the Democratic-Republican opposition, which had been sharply critical of Adams and the Federalists. Critics of the Alien and Sedition Acts, many of them Democratic-Republicans, charged that they were unconstitutional and violated the First Amendment right to free speech.  While the Democratic-Republicans were well-organized and effective, the Federalist party suffered from a split between John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton penned a 54-page letter denouncing Adams, and it hurt the Federalist cause when it was published after falling into the hands of a Democratic-Republican. The campaigns were bitter and divisive, with both sides launching heated accusations, vilifying each other, and engaging in slander and character assassination. Adams and Jefferson, former friends and compatriots, had become bitter enemies.
