Ancient Near Eastern Empires Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC)

Questions What conclusions can you draw about government in Mesopotamia from this source? Who makes law? Where does the ruler get his authority? What problems could rulers expect to face as they extended their control over larger and larger areas? Would they have to delegate authority to others? How could such a problem explain this code? Can you explain why Hammurabi lists all the cities and gods he has benefitted? Was Mesopotamia traditionally a politically unified region? Does the source suggest whether Mesopotamians expected a stable society? How might your answer be explained by Mesopotamia's political history? What conclusions can you draw about family life (e.g., relations among husbands, wives, parents, and children) in this society? About slaves and their owners? Whose sexual relations come in for greater regulation, men's or women's? Can you account for your answer? Can you draw conclusions about the region's economy from this source? What kinds of activities are of concern?
