What are limitations of Hammurabi's Code as evidence of life in Babylonia

History

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

The limitations of Habburabi's code as evidence if lift in Babylonia are that punishment was very much determined by the amount of evidence available, and how truthful the witnesses involved in the trial were. It also treated citizens very differently depending on their social status, and the punishments for crimes were determined by how high-ranking the victim was.

The Code of Hammurabi can tell us much about ancient Babylonian society, but cannot show us everything.  The law code was written for the audience of Babylonian people in its own day, especially the scribes and officers of the law.  So there are many questions we would have from a distance much later in history that people then would have understood without needing explanation.  The intention of the law code was to inform people of laws and punishments, not to give later generations a full view of the whole of Babylonian life.  The law code was prepared by those in power in the government of Hammurabi -- we don't get any response from the people or indication of how the people then viewed the laws.  And ultimately, the law code is written in a detached, impersonal way -- as legal documents generally are written.  We don't get a feel for the personal lives or feelings of people living at that time in Babylonia.

How did the Atlantic Slave trade contribute to the devastation of Africa
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The Atlantic Slave trade was not only a benefit to colonist nations who sought out slaves. The kingdoms of Africa also took advantage of this opportunity. The colonist nations would pay the governments of Africa handsomely for their slaves, so the kingdoms of Africa would willingly hand over their own people to the colonists for the money. This would eventually lead to competition among the kingdoms and cause millions of African people to be sold off as slaves, ergo, causing the kingdoms to lose many of its workers and human resources; thus, causing the swift collapse of the African kingdoms.

Hopefully this was helpful.

m_a_m_a [10]

Hoover was a Republican and during the 1920's that meant little government interference with the economy. He was following the common practice of his political party for the time. Also, based on previous panics and recessions, the government didn't have to interfere because the economy  naturally saw booms and busts in the economic cycle. It was believed that this economic bust was a normal decline and with reinvestment by the wealthy the economy would bounce back.

People arguing for government interference suggested that the depression was worse and different than other panics experienced before this. No one was reinvesting in the economy because they had lost too much or were not willing to trust the system. It was argued that government spending was needed to get the economy started again and then the debt the government gained from economic investment would be paid back with increased taxes when the economy turned around.
