Answer 2

Whether or not Hammurabi's laws were fair depends on a person's point of view.

one way is Because the laws did not favor the rich. The rich got the same punishments that the poor got.

A fair law is Law 122. It states that if someone gives something to another person for safe keeping, that it should be witnessed and a contract should be made between the two parties. I think it is fair because if the person loses the item the other person isn't responsible for it, and won't get in trouble.

Some of Hummurabi's rules were fair and others were not. think that law 233 is fair because if you don’t do a good job you should not be paid for it. It is fair that they have to buy the material with their own money and labor because they didn’t do a good job and got paid for it anyways.
