Hamurabi's Fair and Unfair Laws

Could you imagine a world without any laws, how would it be? The first roots of laws have came from the ancient Mesopotamia. The first laws in Mesopotamia were rote be the great ruler Hammurabi. The first records were written in ancient Mesopotamia, although, the laws were very harsh and strict, hens, some were also unfair. The reason why certain laws are more stricter and harsher than others, is that it depended i what rank of the society pyramid you were. Even today the same rule is applied to today's laws and society rules. Here are some of the Hammurabi Laws which have been translated from the ancient language of Mesopotamian to English, all of these laws are making the whole set of Mesopotamian laws called the Hammurabi Code



So far there have been occurring fair and unfair laws,but most of the laws are fair than unfair, but from my point of view I can say that many of these laws are roots of the today's laws.
