Question

Write a complete paragraph that clearly describes the Code of Hammurabi and

explains one reason it is still relevant today. Your response should include at least
one direct quote from or paraphrase of the texts. Be sure to cite your source within
your writing by following the material you're quoting or paraphrasing with the
author's name in parentheses. Since there are no page numbers with the text
excerpts you ve been given, you can leave out that part of the citation. Also be sure
to include a full MLA citation of all sources you used at the end of your paragraph.
Your paragraph should be three to five sentences in length and include a topic
sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence. It should also use proper
spelling and punctuation. This part of the assignment is worth 16 points. Use the
rubric to evaluate your paragraph.

Code of Hammurabi, a collection of 282 laws and regulations written in cuneiform script on the surface of a seven-foot, four-inch stone monument, which was discovered by French researcher Jacques de Morgan in 1901 and today is part of the collection at the Louvre in Paris.

Historians describe the Hammurabi code as a surviving symbol of an ancient Mesopotamian system for solving disputes, punishing crimes and regulating business practices, which was an early influence upon the development over many centuries of the systems of laws and courts that govern the U.S. and other modern societies.
