Babylonian Law Hammurabi code

History
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago
3 0

The Code of Hamurabi was a set of laws created in Mesopotamia, around the XVIII century BC, by King Hamurabi of the first Babylonian dynasty. The code was based on the Lex Talionis, which stated "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”. Although it may seem a little barbaric for nowadays standards, the code was actually very sophisticated at that time, and provided a set of measures regarding property, family, work and human life. The code prescribed that for each act of law infraction, there must be a proportional punishment.

Although there was no equality before the law, considering that the Babylon empire was a society based on hierarchic principles, the purpose of this code was to homogenize the kingdom legally and ensure a common culture, therefore, holding the key to a civilized human organization, where human disputes could be settled by a law in common.

Which of the following settlements was founded by george washington
IRINA_888 [86]
*.After having enjoyed a high degree of autonomy through the 1750s, the British Colonies in North America began to see that autonomy decline as the British sought to raise taxes and increase their presence in order to pay off the debt from the French and Indian War, protect the colonies from the perceived threat posed by Native Americans, and provide a means to finance their increased military presence.
*.What began as a defense of the traditional British liberties enjoyed by some colonists, and then evolved throughout the 1760s and early 1770s into an increasingly heated and in some areas violent rebellion, culminated in the Second Continental Congress declaring independence from Britain in 1776 in Philadelphia.
<span>*.In addition to providing an inspirational collection of arguments around which both ardent supporters of independence and the previously undecided could rally to the cause of independence, Jefferson's Declaration of Independence actually had numerous long-term consequences, including inspiring previously underrepresented or oppressed groups, such as women and African-Americans, to demand that the United States recognize them as equal citizens with equal rights.
