The harsh government code calling for the death penalty for many offenses was drawn up by King Hammurabi of Babylon around 1754 BC. This code, known as the Code of Hammurabi, established a legal framework that included strict penalties for various crimes, reflecting the principle of retributive justice. It is one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes in history.
