The Law Code of Hammurabi was written. It could not be misunderstood. Thus, while it made conditions rough for the people on the lowest rung of society, it did not subject them to an official's whim. They could not be convicted under bills of attainder or by secret previously unknown laws, as happened in the American Colonies under King George III.
