Nearly 4,000 years ago a man named Hammurabi became a king of a small city state called Babylonia. Hammurabi was ruling Babylon for 42 years and in those years he created the Code of Laws. In those years he has created 282 laws for the people of Babylonia. These laws were carved on a pillar like stone called stele for everyone to see so they knew the consequences of crimes and rules. So in consideration to that, what were these laws like are they fair or unjust.
Hammurabi's code of laws is unjust because, the punishments are too harsh. They were too harsh by in code 129 if a lady was caught in adultery, she would be thrown into the water and drowned(Doc C). That is a little intentional to throw a woman in the water and drowned her
