Story - Hammurabi's Code
In 1792 BC, Hammurabi became the leader of Babylonia. As the sixth king of this dynasty, Hammurabi is known for the strict and extreme laws he implemented in the kingdom he reigned over. These codes were very specific and he executed extreme punishments to his citizens. Since he ruled for 42 years, many citizens spent the better part of their lives living in fear of Hammurabi’s Code.
Hammurabi’s Code was a set of many laws that specifically stated what the citizens were allowed to do and what punishment would be forced upon them if they broke a law. About 50% of the laws pertained to financial transactions. For instance, a law might state the amount of money a citizen would have to pay for a service. Never did the citizens or sellers ever have to negotiate during a transaction. It was already set in stone.
Some of these codes included cutting off arms or legs if someone injured someone else. If a house builder built a structure that ended up falling in, then the builder could be put to death. In most cases, the laws followed the thought of “an eye for an eye.” However, sometimes, the incidents were not intentional. They were merely accidents, but it didn’t matter. Laws were still strictly enforced.
