Hammurabi is best remembered for his Law code; The Code Of Hammurabi. You may be familiar with the phrase, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." The Code of Hammurabi is where this phrase came from.

Answer:

Hammurabi's Code

The first law code in History

Step-by-step explanation:

The first notion of a civil or law code was made by a Mesopotamian King Hammurabi, king of Babylonia ruling from 1792 until 1750 BC. In 1901 a group of French archeologists discovered first Hammurabi's Code where the law is inscriped.

The law included the first account of civic norms and punishment for disobeying law.

Not only did the "Eye for an eye" law was pronounced but further laws

prevented anyone from presenting false testimony or accusing without any evidence someone as Hammurabi states consequences for those falsely accusing an innocent.

Today Hammurabi's Code can be seen in Louvre Museum in Paris.
