Comprarison between the republic of the United States and the monarchy of Babylon:
Difefrences:
- The monarchy was dominated by a king.
- The gods were those who dictated the laws to men, therefore, the laws were sacred.
- The babylonians had a complete legal code, applied throughout the empire. The law was written in stone.
- The code does not distinguish between civil and criminal law, that is, there are laws that regulate the affairs of everyday life and laws that punish crimes.
- The law was not the same for everyone. The same crime had a different punishment depending on who was the one who had committed it and against whom it was committed
- The punishments of babylonian law included fines, beatings, mutilations and executions.
- The absolute monarch directs and controls the three branches of the state
- In a republic three powers are independent.
- The people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise it. Voters elect the president, members of congress and various officials state and local.
- Laws are imposed in a constitution that people must comply with, where in front of a jury they judge the person who broke the law.
- The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America
- The penalties imposed in the constitution include jail.
The similarities that present are that both are political regimes, or forms of goverment, and not types of state, that govern thair laws in favor of the people but in a different way.
