Today in class we continued reading the textbook to finish taking notes. Then we started a powerpoint on Mesopotamia and all of those civilizations back then. We had to answer the following question for homework :
What areas of life did Hammurabi's Code cover?
Hammurabi collected existing laws and created new ones and put them all together to make a uniform code of law made from 282 laws. It helped unify the different city-states in the empire. Everyone had to obey the laws but the punishments for the rich and the poor were different.
