The Seven Commandments are:
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
There are seven commandments in the beginning of Animal Farm. At the end there is only one commandment and that is, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
The commandment that is no longer in effect is the sixth commandment: "No animal shall kill any other animal." This commandment was initially established to promote harmony among the animals on Animal Farm, but it was later violated by the pigs to consolidate power. The change reflects the shift in the animals' ideals and the corruption of their leadership.
The main commandment in Animal Farm is "four legs good, two legs bad" the sheeps didn´t learn to read, due to it the seven commandment was reducet to one.
The Seven Commandments of Animal Farm are as follows: 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend 3. No animal shall wear clothes 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed 5. No animal shall drink alcohol 6. No animal shall kill any other animal 7. All animals are equal The commandments change over time to suit the needs of the greedy, power hungry leaders (Napoleon, Squeeler, etc). The saying goes 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely'. When the pigs discover the wonder of alcohol, they add in excess to the fifth commandment. When Napoleon discovers the comfort of a bed, the fourth commandment is changed to No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets, and so on
the pigs broke the rule that said they couldn't sleep in the beds
The animals felt they needed the seven commandments so order would be brought to the farm. The commandments would tell them what was and wasn't allowed.
It depends how you count the commandments. (Jews and different Christian groups count the first three differently.) Typically, the first three commandments deal with the worship of other gods (not allowed) and how to avoid blaspheming God (by not building idols or taking his name in vain).
Many animals on the farm could not remember all seven commandments so they shortened them to "Four legs good, two legs bad"
As Clover often suspects the pigs violating one or another of the Seven Commandments, but she repeatedly blames herself for misremembering the commandments.
In Chapter 8 of Animal Farm the animals, except Boxer, don't know why Squealer fell off the ladder because they don't understand that he has been changing the Seven Commandments to suit the purposes of Napoleon the entire time. The also don't know that he is drunk, which was previously a commandment punishable by death.
The book of Exodus says that "you shall eat it with matzah and bitter herbs," a commandment requiring the eating of matzah at the Passover Seder (the meal on the first nigh of Passover), and it says "For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread," a commandment taken to prohibit eating leavened bread for the entire duration of the festival. Jews follow these biblical commandments, which are taken to be just as binding as commandments such as "honor your father and mother" and "keep the Sabbath day."
Animalsim is basically the government or religion that the animals base their daily lives off of. So in other words it resembles the Seven commandments
