Detailed explanation-1: -The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes and was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamurabi’s code was the first code of laws that was actually written down, making it the first written legal document. Hammurabi ruled Babylon from 1, 792-1, 750 BCE and created the codes to protect its citizens. Before the codes, each case was judged separately and in a chaotic way.
Detailed explanation-3: -He is noted for his surviving set of laws, which were inscribed on a stela in Babylon’s temple of Marduk. Hammurabi’s Code was once considered the oldest promulgation of laws in human history, though older, shorter law collections have since been found.
Detailed explanation-4: -To better administer his kingdom, he issued a set of codes or laws to standardize rules and regulations and administer a universal sense of justice.
