6 0

Philip Nolan was an American who threatened Spanish rule. He was known as a filibuster (an adventurer who engaged in a private rebellion against a foreign country). At first he had permission by the Spanish government to enter Texas. The Spanish government became suspicious when he began to visit with General James Wilkinson. General James Wilkinson was the United States army commander of the American frontier that bordered Spanish Texas. The Spanish governor feared that Nolan was plotting to take Texas from Spain. The United States had been interested in Texas as far back as 1803 under President Thomas Jefferson. The Spanish always had a difficult time securing their northern borders. The Spanish governor warned Philip Nolan he would be arrested if he entered Texas again. Nolan ignored the warnings. Near Waco, Philip Nolan and 17 other men met up with soldiers near Waco. A fight broke out and Philip Nolan was killed. The men who were captured were taken to Mexico.

What areas of life did Hammurabi’s Code cover? What impact do you think the code had on the Babylonian people?

zheka24 [161]

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.
