the code of Hammurabi consisted of 282 laws. some of the laws were based on earlier laws of the sumerian and akkadian. many dealt with buisness, property owner-ship, medical practice, marriage and childcare. even though there were other laws in mesopotamia, it was the first one to survive. the punishments based on the class of the lawbreaker and the victimof the crime. "an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth was a famous saying in the rules.
