What do you know about law-code of Hammurabi? |
|
Answer» Hammurabi was sixth ruler of Amorite dynasty of ancient Babylonia. He made a law code for his people, which is the oldest law-code available at this time. He carved it in 3600 rows on a stone column eight feet high, which was installed at temple of Markluk in Babylonia. The penal theory of Hammurabi’s was ‘As you sow’, so shall you reap and blood for blood revenge. The language of this code is semetic. There are 285 sections in this law-code, which are divided into scientific concepts, divided into individual assets, trade and commerce, family, crime and chapters of labour. The greatest feature of this code is that its laws are completely secular. |
