**will give medal** 1. Why is it important to have a written code of laws? (Write at least 3 sentences.)
It is important to have a written code of laws because If you write it down, then people can't lie about it or make mistakes in remembering it. Generally, writing things down as a part of the lawmaking process gets everyone to understand what the law actually says.It is important because rules need to be established in case someone breaks them (and people tend to). If they aren't written, smooth-talkers will be able to talk their way out of punishment while less charismatic people will be punished more severely, and some judges will be far kinder than others (warning versus jail term). It is also harder to say "we need to punish domestic crimes more severely" when there is no set rule or punishment. Simply put, written laws are required to keep the rules and punishments universally fair.
