    Hammurabi Reaction

    Today’s laws are not as harsh as Hammurabi’s. They are more civilized. For example‚ none of today’s laws include amputating other people’s body parts. Hammurabi thought it was necessary to amputate arms‚ breasts‚ digits‚ etc. I believe our laws are better‚ overall because they do not incorporate corporal punishment. I think Hammurabi’s Code of Law was an excellent deterrent against crime‚ and very few people would try to break the law. I think this is due to how harsh the laws were. There was zero

    years ago‚ Hammurabi‚ a king in Babylon‚ created a code of 282 laws to protect the weak. I think that his laws were fair. To begin with‚ Hammurabi’s code was just because it helped the family be together. For instance‚ in Law 129 it says if a married lady is caught in adultery‚ they shall both be bind and cast into water. Also‚ in Law 195 it says that if a son has struck his father‚ his hands shall be cut off. Based on what I read‚ Law 129 helped the lady and the man be together. On Law 125 it shows
