Which of the following ideas was established in the Code of Hammurabi?

Answer 1

D) every citizen in an empire should be considered equal under law

Answer 2

Answer:    D) Every citizen in an empire should be considered equal under law

Explanation:  Hammurabi was the ruler of Mesopotamia in the period from 1792 to 1750, a member of the Babylonian dynasty. His law is known as one of the oldest written laws ever. Although, among the total of 282 laws in the Code, there are those who are on the principle of "eye for the eye", this is a fair law that was valid for all. As the preface says, the law protects everyone both strong and weak, persecutes criminals, and everyone is equal before the law, and will be punished for the crimes committed.
