Hammurabi had 539 laws based on these two phrases: Innocent until proven guilty, and an Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth. A sample law from his law code is if a child slaps his father, the child's hand is cut off.

∙ 10y agoThe Code's importance as a reflection of Babylonian society is indisputable. Hammurabi's laws were established to be the "laws of Justice" intended to clarify the rights of any "oppressed man." Mesopotamia society under the Hammurabi code was one of strict penalties for criminal offenses with punishment severe and varied according to the wealth of the individual. Hammurabi's rigidly centralized ruling system prospered from tribute and taxes, which he used to both compensate state dependents and finance extensive state irrigation and building projects. The code also gives us a clear sense of the ways ancient Babylonians invested divine authority in their secular leaders.
