indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Laws are rules that a society makes to maintain order and keep citizens and their possessions safe Most countries have thousands of laws that are enforced by police officers with the help of court systems
Laws today are based on those of earlier societies Ancient Egypt had laws in 3000 B.C They were based on common sense views of right and wrong All people were equal under the law When a person broke the law, their punishment could be as simple as returning a stolen
item or as severe as lashings from a whip Sometimes, a person’s entire family could be
punished for their crimes
Later, there was the Code of Hammurabi from the land of Babylon It was the first written code of law in history and was created in 1772 B.C It included 282 laws in total This
is where we get the phrase, “an eye for an eye” as that was a punishment There were laws about rewards for returning slaves to owners, laws about marriage, laws about compensation for theft and loss, and laws about responsibility if a house collapsed These laws were originally written on giant stone tablets Some tablets still exist and are kept in the Louvre Museum
Later, the Romans created their first legal text, the Law of the Twelve Tables, in the mid-5th century B.C These laws were mostly civil, meaning they were private laws about how
Trang 2citizens interacted That meant Romans focused on laws about property and possession These
laws were so well formed that they have affected lawyers ever since.
Without these ancient examples, our modern laws would be very different We have many laws today, and new ones are still being created by governments Sometimes, governments change past laws as well In the early 20th century, the government banned alcohol in the U.S Later, the government made alcohol legal and set a drinking age This is just one example of how laws can
be changed
