Answer:

The Code of Hammurabi consisted of 282 laws regarding trade, taxes, marriage, divorce, theft, slavery and debt. Many of these laws are similar, both in content and in writing, to those found in Deuteronomy and, which according to Abrahamic tradition God passed to Moses.

The code, written in Akkadian by King Hammurabi in 1750 BC, is one of the oldest and best-known legal compendiums, and one of the best-preserved specimens of its kind, as well as one of the oldest documents created in ancient Mesopotamia.

It is based on Talion Law ("eye for eye and tooth for tooth"), and is also one of the earliest examples of the principle of presumption of innocence, as it suggests that the accused had the opportunity to provide evidence.

What do you know about the different Literary Periods in Philippine Literature?​
Flura [38]

Answer:

There are several important periods in Philippine literature, starting from:

1. The Pre-Colonial Period (BC - 1564)

In this period (before the Spanish occupation), literature was mostly oral in nature (spoken form), and included different literary forms, such as riddles, proverbs, myths, legends, fables, epics, and various songs.

2. The Spanish Period (1521 - 1898)

During the Spanish occupation, Philippine literature became much more written rather than oral. It included a lot of revolutionary literature at this point, as well as political texts and propaganda; otherwise, they continued focusing on religious literature, as well as some secular texts too.

3. The American Period (1900 - 1942)

During the American occupation, there was a surge in education and literature in the Philippines, however, the literature was mostly imitating American literature. It included poetry, drama, and remake novels of famous American novels.

4. The Japanese Period (1941 - 1945) and the Republic (1946 - 1985)

English was forbidden which led to a halt in Philippine literature. However, it gave rise to a lot more literature written in their native language, like poetry, fiction, drama, newspapers, and essays.

5. 21-Century Period

Modern, contemporary period, no different from any other country nowadays.
