Question

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE AND THANK YOU!! :)) Why were legal systems like the Code of Hammurabi and the Ten Commandments important for the growth and development of civilizations?

1. They prevent revenge killing by requiring punishment or compensation for wrongdoing.

2. They proved the authority of the civilization’s rulers.

3.They assigned roles to people based on their willingness to follow laws.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

1. They prevent revenge killing by requiring punishment or compensation for wrongdoing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Code of Hammurabi is the first written law in human history, and it is important because it established punishments for certain crimes. That is why both this code and Ten Commandments are important, because they prevented anarchy. For every crime in the Code of Hammurabi you had a certain punishment, very often even a death sentence.

The second one is not correct because it cannot apply to Ten Commandments.

The third one is also not correct because the legal systems for not developed in that period that much.
