Detailed explanation-1: -The code is also significant because it promoted the notion that justice ought to be fair and impartial. Through the codes, Hammurabi conveyed that he was a king who wanted to ensure that anyone-not just the rich and powerful, but even the poor-could obtain justice, Podany says.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was a compilation of old laws based on retributive principles. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth form of justice is used in the Hammurabi Code.
Detailed explanation-3: -Here, Hammurabi states that he wants “to make justice visible in the land, to destroy the wicked person and the evil-doer, that the strong might not injure the weak.” The laws themselves support this compassionate claim, and protect widows, orphans and others from being harmed or exploited.
