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.

NARA [144]

Answer:

Communism and Facism in principle are at direct odds with one another.

Explanation:

Communism in it's purest form would have the ultimate outcome of total equality among the people with no private ownership and really little to no government presence. In contrast, Facism in it's purest form is a complete authoritarian state with all power belonging to a central authority or dictator. What falters in each system is often dependent on a power struggle. Each system, along with other political systems, are based on haves and have nots, giving and taking, the aristocracy vs. the proliteriet, etc. In recent history, Facism tends to move towards socialistic or at least moderate ideals due to the complete oppression of the many. In the same way, Communism has struggled due to the existence of a hierarchy structure that often resembles fascism. The fascist components in a communist society often attempt to hide the fact that a fascist type authority exists.
