Answer:

The laws guaranteed equality between the rich and the poor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest largest written texts ever found, and it is thought to be the predecesor to written laws, the code of hammurabi more than other thing is a compound of stories and cases, that set an example for what could be done in certain civic situations, it is also a compound of 282 rules that establish standards for regular interactions, it was important because it guaranteed equality in a trial for rich and the poor.
