Have you ever wondered where the saying “an eye for an eye” came from? It came from something even worse, Hammurabi’s code! I wouldn’t like to live under Hammurabi's code, if you were a woman you would have it worse… In my opinion, hammurabi’s code was unjust to me because some people deserve a 2nd chance but also sometimes the person that commited the crime should be punished more and/or less depending on the crime. The punishment should be equal to everyone including slaves. Hammurabi’s code dates back to 2350 BCE and is the Babylonians law. Hammurabi’s code came from King Hammurabi and he was the king of the Babylonians.
