How have early civilizations influenced the development of laws in american society?

The two early civilizations that come to mind are the laws of Hammurabi in the first Babylonian Empire. Secondly, as far as ancient civilizations are concerned, perhaps the Twelve Tables of the Roman Republic bring us closer to what may considered "modern laws". Some European nations, as an example have parts of Roman law as the foundation of many of their current day laws.
