Hammurabi Code is an important legal document. Explain. |
|
Answer» Nearly half of the Hammurabi CODE deals with issues LIKE a contract, establishing, for example, the wages to be paid to a cart driver or a surgeon or anyone working as a labor. Other PROVISIONS set the terms of a MONETARY transaction, establishing the liability of a builder for an establishment that collapses. The Hammurabi code also addresses issues concerning household and family relationships and inheritance. Only a single provision appears to impose obligations on an OFFICIAL. This establishes that a jury who reaches an incorrect decision is to be fined and removed from the bench forever. A few provisions address issues related to military service as well. |
