Mesopotamian Law


What I have read is the "Code of Hammurabi". This explain the rules of punishments that people would have to do because of there wrong doings. This was the way the Mesopotamian thought was the way life should be.

I thought that it was reasonable the way that Hammurabi came up with rules for everyone to go by. Everyone gets punished for what they do. Some of the punishments were not called for but some people have to pay the price for what they do.

There civilization was organized and set well in order for people who did wrong. There civilization believed that if you do something wrong you will be punished for the wrong you do.

Do you think that our society should be more strict? Would harsher punishments deter people from doing wrong?
