Hammurabi's laws were cruel because one of his laws was to cut off a son's hands if he hit his father. Another law stated that if you are caught in a robbing a place, you would die. If I was Hammurabi and I made the laws, I would send them to jail. Finally, I would let the accused talk instead of not hearing what they had to say.

∙ 12y agoIs the the Hammurabi code fair to everyone? To me the the Hammurabi code is not fair because if a commoner poked the eye of a man he too would have his eye poked out. But if a rich commoner poked the eye of another commoner eye out then he would have to sell his wife daughter or son to business for 3 years
