No. Hammurabi's Code divided the population into three classes. One was an aristocracy which had privileges and responsibilities, had the right to retaliate for corporal injuries but was subject to heavier punishments for crime and higher fines. The features of another class were unclear. These people had fewer rights, were not allowed to retaliate, had to accept monetary compensation for corporal injuries, and paid lower fines. The third class were the slaves.
