Answer:

I studied this awhile ago so forgive me if I make some mistakes in this response

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe the if you hurt someone, you will get punished.

For example, if someone punches someone in school, you could get detention. Pretty sure we still have that one around

Not sure about the things that are not used today, sorry!

Answer:

Hammurabi's code required accusers to bring the accused to court by themselves. Unlike today's laws it is required by law for the accused to show up to court. Hammurabi's code and today's laws both offer protection of property and different punishments for different crimes based on severity

Explanation: not for sure but hope this helps
