Answer:

Justice & Power

Step-by-step explanation:

Hammurabi needed laws for every single person he conquered; he needed to make sure everyone that was done wrong could get the satisfaction they needed. In addition, he didn't want his power to by misused and wanted others to know that everything he said goes.
