To govern the various peoples in his empire, he set up a uniform code of laws, which he had inscribed on a stone pillar. Some of these laws included punishments taht may seem primitive by today's standards. Although the code applied to all citizens, it contained double standards between upper and lower-class people and between men and women. For example, a woman was permitted to leave an adulterous husband, but an adulterous wife could be drowned. Choose five laws and punishments from Hammurabi's Code and present them in a chart that compares them with United States law today. ![]() LEQs: 1.
