the mespotamia erra is very interesting to read about I must say,
the code of Hammurabi is very interesting like the punishments they had of they stole some type of crop or animal from the wealthy they would have to pay them or if they coudnt pay they would have to be killed that just blows my mind like why not make that person work for what they took from you or put them In jail if they had jail? If they build a house for someone and the house caves in and kills the owner then person who built the house as well gets killed .. just wrong , a lot of the punishments had to do with death its almost like the just killed the person from doing wrong instead of trying to get them to do right , why is that ? what if the world was like that now do you think id=t would prevent all the crime that goes on now?
it kind of bother me that they really emphasized on the upper class and how they did and view things why didn't they put any of the middle or lower class in perspectives , what would happen if a poor person got stuff stolen from them by a wealthy person would the wealthy get just as bad punishment as the poor did ? its kind of injustice that they don't integrate all the classes in the documents.
I liked these documents better than chapter 1 it was far more interesting to read about all the laws .
