What & When: In 1789 the U.S. Constitution
replaced the Articles of Confederation and
created a stronger federal government. It
established the three branches of
government, outlined how to add changes to
the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights
explained the rights of the people.
Cause: The Articles of Confederation had
not proven strong enough for a growing
country like the U.S. who needed a
government with more central power to be
able to enforce its laws.
Effect: It was not easy to get delegates to
agree on the design of the new government
in the planning process that took place
during the Constitutional Convention.
Significance: The Constitution that was
created during this time has endured and is
still the highest law in the land today.
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.
