Answer:

To establish and maintain a sense of uniform order amongst the people

Explanation:

So, as societies grew in both population and in land occupation, it became harder to regulate the civil obligations of being a "good citizen." The earliest written "code of law" is Code of Hammurabi, which established the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" as a law to follow for a peaceful society. The use of an established set of law's helped to create a universal understanding of what was expected to be followed by all men throughout a large area ruled by one "king" which also helped to unify those city-states under one identity. His codes also laid out the punishment for breaking said law so there would be no confusion or room of interpretation on consequences of actions.

What do we need to do, as private citizens, to ensure our governmental leadership reflects the diversity of the population?

Ilya [14]

This is the wrong type of thinking

Explanation:

Focusing on diversity of color or diversity of race is not what we should be focusing on but instead diversity of thought. Focusing on race is what racists do. If the population wanted a diverse government they would have voted for one. Just because a particular segment of a group is one race does not mean it's a problem. we have a democracy. As private citezins we should ensure our democracy prevails because whatever the people want is what will be found in Congress or politics.
