Hammurabi was the first person to write a code-a written set of laws. It did not matter if you were rich or poor, everyone was expected to obey them. If you broke these laws you were punished.
The code of Hammurabi was written on stone. The sixth king of Babylon noticed the short reins of cruel kings and decided to write down the code. It is the first example known to us of laws codified.
black diorite
He was the first king of Akkad which later turned into the Babylon Empire under king Hammurabi. He didn't write a code, as a matter of fact, King Hammurabi wrote the first know code of law.
Hammurabi wrote the code mainly because he reasoned that cruel rulers have short reigns and took time to write a set of just laws. Also, when we go back in time, people had more respect for leaders.
Who was the first person to write a code of laws.
Hammurabi himself.
Actually his laws were written in cuneiform script in the Akkadian language.
If the Deputy is operating within their jurisdiction they have the legal authority to enforce the law ANYWHERE they happen to see a violation.
king Hammurabi wrote all 282 laws in 1750 BC
Hammurabi wrote it. He was the ruler of the Babylonian empire from 1795-1750 BC.
I am doing a project for Hammurabi code of laws and have been researching all day..and then I saw this question..this is what I came up with...it was written on a diorite stela, it is now in the Louvre museum in Paris. It was also discovered in December 1901 by the egyptologist Gustave Jequier, in Khuzestan, Iran. **I am improving the answer that is above** If you're just looking for an answer that doesnt have to be complicated and specific, read: Hammurabi's code was written down on a stone tablet and the scribe used cuneiform to write it down. It's called Hammurabi's CODE because code meant "laws written down in a clear orderly way"
The code of Hammurabi had a huge impact in modern governments because it was one of the first written documents that talked about government. It shaped many governments by giving them a outline for how to write the government out. Hammurabi made the laws to keep together his kingdom but what he did had such an importance on law making today.
Legal codes which were kept in the minds of aristocrats were too susceptible to influence peddling and manipulation, so a written version displayed it to all.
