Answer: A. Incarceration

Explanation:

Babylonian law stemmed from Hammurabi's code which was one of the earliest legal codes in the history of mankind and abided by the rule of an eye for an eye.

The death penalty, monetary fines and physical mutilation were part of the code. For instance, if a person was caught robbing someone, they were handed the death penalty. If someone stole livestock from a free person they were handed a monetary fine in that they had to pay back the value of the livestock tenfold.

Physical mutilation was perhaps the most popular in the code because it literally enforced the eye for an eye rule because if for instance, a person's actions leads to another losing an eye, they will have to lose their eye as well.

Incarceration was not a major part of the code.

Tresset [83]

The correct answer is the last option: "The State population increased", the United States House of Representatives has a total of 437 seats that are divided according to the population of each State. For example, California's population is 39.54 million which means it has 53 representatives, but  Hawaii's population is 1.43 million so it only has 2 representatives. If, hypothetically, everyone left California and moved to Hawaii and vice versa, then Hawaii would have 53 representatives and California would have 2.
