According to the Declaration of Independence, a government’s power comes from "the people", since the people need to elect the representatives that make decisions for them regarding the state. This is known as "popular sovereignty".

Although you did not specify the civilizations you should compare Hammurabi's code with, here I leave relevant points about the code that may help you:

  • Hammurabi's code is a collection of laws carved in a stone pillar during the Babylonian emperor Hammurabi's realm. After conquering the land within the Mesopotamian valley, he needed to unify the territory of his empire under the same laws. It is the first written code of laws.
  • As laws were written, judges could not change them at the moment. This was a guarantee of justice for citizens. Other civilizations like the Romans and Hebrews also had written codes of laws.
  • The code includes mainly a list of crimes and punishments established for them. The punishments defer according to the social rank of the victim and the criminal.
  • Punishments could be payments in species or metals, but also corporal, following the "eye for an eye" criteria of justice, or Tallion's law. This concept of justice can also be found in old Hebrew tradition, and in the Quran.

The Treaty of Nanjing established which three of the following policies?
NeTakaya

Answer:

-Extraterritoriality rights for foreigners in China

-British control of the island of Hong Kong

-The forced opening of five Chinese ports to foreign trade

Explanation:

The Treaty of Nanjing was signed on August 29, 1842  in the waters of Nanjing aboard the British warship HMS Cornwallis. These negotiations (later called Unequal Treaties) were carried out after the defeat of China (under the Qing Dynasty) by the British Empire in the context of the so called "First Opium War" that began in 1839 and ended in 1842.

In this context, diverse policies were signed (mainly in favor of the British Empire), however the three remarkables ones were:

- British citizens on Chinese soil gained immunity from prosecution under Chinese law.

- The  opening of four Chinese ports to foreign trade alongside Canton (Shameen Island) having a total of five ports where foreign merchants were to be allowed to trade: Amoy (Xiamen), Foochowfoo (Fuzhou), Ningpo (Ningbo) and Shanghai.

-The creation of the crown colony of Hong Kong after the Chinese Emperor ceded this island to the British Queen.
