Answer:

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

This phrase, along with the idea of written laws, goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that prospered long before the Bible was written or the civilizations of the Greeks or Romans flowered.

"An eye for an eye ..." is a paraphrase of Hammurabi's Code, a collection of 282 laws inscribed on an upright stone pillar. The code was found by French archaeologists in 1901 while excavating the ancient city of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran.

Hammurabi is the best known and most celebrated of all Mesopotamian kings. He ruled the Babylonian Empire from 1792-50 B.C.E. Although he was concerned with keeping order in his kingdom, this was not his only reason for compiling the list of laws. When he began ruling the city-state of Babylon, he had control of no more than 50 square miles of territory. As he conquered other city-states and his empire grew, he saw the need to unify the various groups he controlled.

<span>The First Battle of Bull Run (called First Manassas in the South) cost some 3,000 Union casualties, compared with 1,750 for the Confederates.

In fact, both sides would soon have to face the reality of a long, grueling conflict that would take an unimaginable toll on the country and its people.</span>

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

D. invest in businesses

Explanation:

President H. Hoover, a Republican, was known for his laissez-faire policies and he campaigned based on the economic prosperity of the Coolidge period. When the Great Depression struck in 1929, the US government was blamed for not providing a lot of urgent social assistance to high numbers of suffering people. People evicted from their homes built shantytowns in US cities that were called Hoovervilles. He started some social and public works programs that provided the basis for the future New Deal, but the pubic perception that prevailed was that of social insensitivity.
