Question.1949 - 1. What are the authority and principles on which the three law codes are based?

Answer Below:

Ancient Law Comparison.pdf compares and contrasts three legal codes that were derived from distinct sources and tenets: the Code of Hammurabi, the Law of Moses, and the Twelve Tables. 1. The concepts of justice and order, as well as the authority of the Babylonian monarch Hammurabi, formed the basis of the Code of Hammurabi. The gods supposedly bestowed the Code upon Hammurabi so that the nation may be righteous. God revealed his authority to Moses on Mount Sinai, and this revelation became the basis of the Law of Moses, also called the Mosaic Law or the Law of the Torah. The Israelites were selected by God to be His covenant people, and the law was given to them with the purpose of creating a country that is holy and obeys God's commands. The Roman Senate provided the authority and principles upon which the Twelve Tables were established by the Roman Republic. The original intent was to make sure that everyone was treated fairly and to codify existing laws (Filonik et al., 2018).
