Hammurabi inherited one major direction for his political activity to succeed in controlling the Euphrates waters. An important area of the code was written that depended exclusively on irrigation agriculture. Since Hammurabi expanded the kingdom to conquer all of ancient Mesopotamia, he had to regulate the use of water for his expanding kingdom.

Why was Hammurabi's code of laws an?

The 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.
