When the Constitution was framed, the ideas of Locke and Montesquieu heavily influenced its contents.

John Locke primarily dealt with the <u>rights of human beings</u> and their freedoms. He stated that the sole duty of government was to protect the natural rights of its citizens; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This idea is clearly seen in the Preamble; <em>"...and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."</em>, which is a translation of Locke's idea.

Baron de Montesquieu on the other hand created ideas that were key to <u>developing a balanced government</u>, primarily the <u>separation of powers</u>. This is a fundamental part of our union, keeping the whole government in balance, making sure no one branch becomes more powerful than the other.

The oldest written law code was the Ur-Nammu law code. This law code was written around 300 years before the law code of Hammurabi. The Ur-Nammu law is the law of the Eshunna town, of king Lipit-Ishtar of Isin.

On the other hand, the Hammurabi code is a collection of 282 regulations, established by Hammurabi, the king of Babylon in 1750 BC. He was the one who wanted his people to know about his rules and laws thus he ordered his officers to display his laws publicly.
