Question

Read the law below created by Hammurabi. Was the punishment of the law appropriate? Explain why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the punishments are appropritate.

Explanation:

Both law 55 and law 56 are appropriate laws. They are not extreme like some other primitive laws. Their punishments not only reprimand the offender but also benefit the victim. The lost goods or damages are repaid fairly. After the punishments are administered, it's like the incident didn't even happen for the victim.
