First of all, Hammurabi’s Code protected the family. For example, in Document C, Law 195 says if a son struck his father, his hands shall be cut off.…

I completely agree with Shelby’s position, I don’t think that those who are severely oppressed have to comply with civic duties because these duties often times are used to perpetuate their oppression and because by disregarding societal norms and laws the oppressed can force the society to change for the better and become more egalitarian.…
