How does the Code of Hammurabi illustrate key elements of what a civilization is?

History

Paul [167]3 years ago

Interesting question; the one problem in answering this is that people and researchers are still arguing over what are key elements of a civilization and what civilization itself. So, ultimately, this is a viewpoint question that depends on what you see as a civilization since it's such a debatable term and concept.

I, personally, don't think its very apparent, simply because I don't necessarily agree with the civilized/uncivilized dichotomy. Some key elements that this code reveals include the idea of writing, a written code of law, class and wealth distinctions, checks on judges, familial regulation, military affairs, and regulations on trade & commerce.

Hello,

site info was found from :https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/hammurabi

The text, compiled at the end of Hammurabi’s reign, is less a proclamation of principles than a collection of legal precedents, set between prose celebrating Hammurabi’s just and pious rule. Hammurabi’s Code provides some of the earliest examples of the doctrine of “lex talionis,” or the laws of retribution, sometimes better known as “an eye for an eye.”

Hope this helps'

How did the geography of New England affect how people made a living?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Limited farmland and a short growing season encouraged colonists in New England to turn to fishing and shipbuilding.

Explanation:

New England colonies had rocky soil, which was very bad for farming. Their winters were also really long and extreme, so even the few things they could grow, they couldn't grow for long. However, due to the close proximity of many major areas to the ocean and large rivers, ship building and fishing were two main forms of economic growth.

Hope this helps :)

Why did the British army hope to invade new york and make it the center of their colonial fight.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The British Army during the American Revolutionary War served for eight years in campaigns fought around the globe. Defeat at the Siege of Yorktown to a combined Franco-US force ultimately led to the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in eastern North America, and the concluding Treaty of Paris deprived Britain of many of the gains achieved in the Seven Years' War. However several victories elsewhere meant that much of the British Empire remained intact.
