The Code of Hammurabi 3 Pages 833 Words

The laws and regulations enacted by King Hammurabi have seemingly cruel and unusual punishment system. Case law includes economic regulation (price, tariffs, trade and commerce), family law (marriage and divorce), criminal law (attack, theft) and civil law (slavery, debt). Despite the difference in punishment, there is considerable similarity between our law today and Hammurabi's laws and regulations.

The basis of Hammuran's law is equality retaliation, which is equivalent to "one eye" of Semite. This law protects all social classes in Babylonia and aims to protect the weak and poor, including women, children, slaves, from rich and unfair treatment of power. This has some similarities with our law today; they were made to protect equality, wealth or poverty for all, and accordingly. In stark contrast to our law, most of today's penalties are not serious.

Hammurabi's code is very important to life. In our society, the death penalty is limited to a few crimes. Only homicide is considered a serious crime, but there are still other circumstances. Today, we still put great emphasis on life, but our view is different. Today, we value the lives of the sinful parties and punish them separately.

The penalties for Hammurabi Code will vary depending on the status of the criminal and the situation of the crime. This is partially correct for today's law and the court system. The type of trial, punishment, punishment etc are completely subject to crime. But everyone today (perhaps) is treated equally.

It tells us that Hamurabi's justice is being handled in a strict way. Is this fair? Can you accept that time? Should Babylonian society get it? Of course these questions can not be answered, but they should be discussed several times. This is because it is one of the rare ways to rule history. In the history of Babylon, that is, in the advertisement of the Hamrabi Code, you can see that the great god of the sun, Shamash, gave Hamrabi control. "In the front there is a relief indicating that King Hanabi accepts the law of the god of the sun, Moses will receive the story of the Lord's ten words." Therefore, he and his people I believe I have the power of God. Then he used the code to strengthen sense of justice. Finally, the third class is a complete slave

In the last article we discussed that the Hammurabi Code may be more stringent than other ancient laws and regulations. However, from the perspective of Hammura himself, his comprehensive code represents a pluralistic "justice" justice covering every part of Babylonian society. For this purpose, the preface of the code begins with various emotional claims such as Hammurabi's own words. "Anu and Bel call my name Hammurabi, respecting the respected monarch of God and leading justice to justice.The land is to destroy evil and evil one, such as The strong should not hurt the weak; so I can dominate the blackhead like Shamash and further open the land to promote the well-being of mankind, I made him rich.
