The+Code+of+hammurabi

1. The code rule of law is to make every important and non important person fall under the same law to prove that everyone is equal. Everyone was equal in his mind that way no one would be getting the shorter end of the stick. This is was one way to work out and prevent social status which never really prevented it because even till this day we still have all social status.

2. Hammurbi had the ideal of everyone one was equal and that the law should be the same and apply to every human being no matter what your socail stature is. That everyone is equal and no one is different.

3.In trial by ordeal a person accused of having committed a crime was injured in some way. For example, the person might be branded with a heated iron bar; if the injury healed within a certain period of time the person was determined to be innocent. If the wound did not heal, the person was found guilty. This method of judging guilt or innocence was also called divination because it involved discovering by supernatural means whether or not someone was guilty. Trial by duel was a judicial instrument in the middle ages and some time after and was used to determine whether the accused was guilty. This was done by a duel between the accuser and the accused. If the accuser won, the late accused had been guilty. Trial by duel was normally only used for murder cases or other capital crimes. But what was the reason for this absurd legal practice? It was used because the courts often lacked the evidence needed to come to a sensible judgement. In the middle ages there was no way to record anything faithfully - no tape recorders, no film, no photograps. They also lacked fingerprint and genetic analysis, and had little understanding of criminalistic method. So they had to rely on eyewitness accounts and circumstantial evidence.

4. The law is the law they cant be able to bend it for special reasons they need to be consistent for everyone no matter what the reason is, colour, race and poplitical staure.
