What makes a legal system fair or unfair? I am trying to narrow down to a few key points. Attempting to compare laws today to code of Hammurabi.

In my opinion, equality and proper procedure are the most important factors that influence the fairness of the legal system, and these are provided in our legal system, the constitution and documents that make up the revision.

The legal system that thinks that people are not deprived of "the pursuit of life, freedom, or happiness" without being treated equally is at least theoretically subject to the same rules and sanctions, so an effective system is. . People may be dissatisfied with the result, but if everyone faces the same result, then there will be a sense of fairness at the time.

Due process is also the center of the concept of legal justice. What is the due process? Due process is a link the government must skip to rob you of your life, freedom, or pursuit of happiness. For example, you can not be imprisoned or fined, unless you have a trial to understand a claim against you. Without all these steps, no one can take you away or take money. Incorporating legal procedures into our legal system gives us a sense of fairness as it is designed to ensure that the government can not act arbitrarily to us.

To the extent that society believes that legal system is fair, it will (almost) meet that requirement. When society begins to feel that the legal system is unfair, it seldom prevents the termination of social contracts.

The United States may be one of the most equitable and developed legal systems in any country of the world, but we can not deny that there are drawbacks. One of its drawbacks is to be able to provide the best service to people that justice can pay.

1) Are public advocates coming from a high-quality legal background? They will do their best to accomplish the job (we hope), but wealthy people are certain to be able to hire better lawyers.

2) In the absence of money to go out, a suspect in a serious crime goes to prison. In the long run, wealthier suspects may be guilty (or innocent) as well, but they will not go to prison.

3) As long as they have money to pay with lawyers and appeal, the rich can file a lawsuit according to the law. What are the economic distress options?

If the philosophy of Hammurabi Codex believes that no one is beyond the law, rich will often be higher than law, so this will violate US law.

The goal of the government is to protect the rights. In order to protect them, the law was enacted. Unless your action infringes the rights of others, individuals have rights and you can do whatever you want. This is a law breach. When this happens, the program begins to compensate for this violation. The ideal system would be the case without the right to be infringed; then the best thing is to consistently provide justice regardless of socio-economic status when the rights are violated. The more we adhere to the code, the more fair the system; as others point out, even when the rich can buy their way, even the ideal is not satisfactory.

The purpose of Hammurabi Code is to standardize the legal process and establish the rule of law of a form. However, rich people have no doubt bought their way.

Hammurabi's laws and regulations will undoubtedly affect society. Many civilizations used him as a precedent for creating their own legal system. As it is today, our law has something to do with him. The Hammurabi code does not work in our democratic society today. Today, our country and its law are created and maintained by people. Furthermore, our society does not tolerate retaliation against criminals. On the other hand, it tries to recover criminals. Hammurabi will undoubtedly have a major impact on today's legal system.

Whether the country is dictatorship or democracy, the key to an effective legal system is that anyone can understand the law. We are showing our cracks, and we can learn from the simplicity of the Hammurabi code. And it focuses on the principle of practice justice rather than exaltation. Even calling it a series of laws may cause misunderstanding. The ancient Babylonians did not seem to have a corresponding term. There is no data on the frequency with which the house of Babylon collapsed before and after the implementation of this Code of Conduct. I could not understand how many people were executed (if any) because I could not comply with Hammurabi's construction law. However, we know that human self-protection instinct is strong. They are powerful, they are also the foundation of most of our actions. To avoid death is the most powerful motivation we have. Assuming that people have the same emotions and ideas 4,000 years ago, we can infer the influence of the code of conduct.
