The code of Hammurabi originated in Babylon in 1772BC, under the sixth king, King Hammurabi. This doctrine contained 282 laws which extended from household laws such as stipulations for divorce, and wage laws. The code also dictated that a strict eye for an eye policy as well as enslavement may be used, and also regulated military actions.
Dracos Law was the first constitution of Athens and originated in 622 BC. The laws were carved into wooden tablets called axones and were fierce laws. They instituted the death penalty for minimal crimes, and slavery for those who owed a debt. Similarly, the law of the twelve tables, written in 450 BC into Roman law, focused on many of the same concepts. The law of the twelve tables combined strict and rigorous penalties for nearly all crimes.
The JustinianCode was originated in ancient Rome by the Byzantine Empire in 534 , and it outlined legal and civil laws. From senate regulations and constitutional laws, to voting laws, the four part legislation outlined them all. The codex contained laws forreligion, heresy and paganism., The other three parts outlined the Digesta, Institutions and Novellae.
Perhaps the first works that are similar to todays laws is the magna carta, which developed in England in 1215. These laws out limitations to the kings power and protected the privileges of the people. These laws also helped to colonize the early America's.
The Statues of Westminster also helped paved the way for todays laws, a 3 part series that was esrablished in Engkand in 1275. In 1275 laws were made to codify existing laws. By 1285 the legislation had added the clause De Donis Conditionalibus. Finally in 1931 the Statue of Westminister enlisted an act of parliament to the United Kingdom, thay estabkished legislative equality for all. This set the basis for continuing relationships
