Question

Which laws do you think were the MOST unfair and unreasonable in the passage Hammurabi's code of law​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hammurabi was quite harsh when it came to his code of law.  Although the punishments as well as the limits were reasonable, the cruelity was demonstrated throughout the code of law.  However, the most unfair and unreasonable laws, in my opinion, consisted of long-term suffering.  For example, if a physician accidently failed an operation and tragically killed his patient, Hammurabi would lacerate the physician's hands, ensuring that that physician will not make the same terrible mistake again.  These laws were not merciful whatsoever, but Hammurabi's punishments and limits that he set in his kingdom kept things in order.  After all, the empire did fall apart after Hammurabi's death.
