What was the importance of hummarabis code of ancient mesopotamia?

It is important because it was the first written laws in human history. It gave all of the laws as well as the punishments for each law. This is significant because, for the first time, people were able to know the consequences of their actions. No longer could a king or magistate change the laws or consequences for his own advantage. The code is also significant because during this time we see the rise of cities and city-states popping up all over Mesopotamia. With more and more people moving to the cities, there had to be laws to keep society in order. The laws would be a guide to all aspects of life from business transactions, crimes, loans, agricultural practice, and religion. These are just a few basic reasons why Hammurabi's Code is so significant to Mesopotamian Society and World History in general. It was the precursor to all legal systems.
