The+Code+of+Hammurabi+&+codified+Law

===The **rule of law** is a legal maxim according to which people can abide to the law. The phrase has been traced back to the 17th century but the concept can be brought back to ancient Greece. Hammurabi believed that people should be treated fairly no matter what class they were in. To him citrus there wasnt anyone one above the law no matter if you were rich or not. He wanted to start society, so he created these laws to get people to follow so that society wouldnt be such a mess. He was just trying to start something so that the world would start to have some order, so because of the laws he created now society isnt a mess where people cant just walk up to others and say if they dont give them there land they will just kill them, he was just trying to make society equal and it worked. Trail by ordeal is when someone is accused of a crime so they would do something like putting there hand in a boiling pot of water, if they pull there hand out and there is no burn then they are innocent, if they have burns then they can be punished farther. I dont think that trail by ordeal would work very well. Trail by duel is when the two accused people have to fight to the death thats how they decide who is innocent, i dont think that this is a very good way to decide either because the wrong guy could have died. Fairness and consistency is obviously not complimentary terms because you cant be fair to everyone and you have to have consistant rules that arent fair to everyone.===

YOU HAVE SOME GOOD INFORMATION IN HERE, BUT YOU DO NOT ANSWER ALL OF TEH QUESTIONS POSED TO YOU. I ASKED YOU TO MAKE A COLLAGE OF WHOSE INTERESTS ARE REPRESENTED IN THE LAW AND I DO NOT SEE IT. YOU DO EXPLAIN WHAT TRIAL BY ORDEAL AND TRIAL BY DUEL ARE ABOUT BUT I WANTED YOU TO EXAPLIN WHY THEY WERE NOT EFFECTIVE INSTRUMENTS OF LAW, (DO THESE SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE REALLY GET TO THE FACTS OF A CASE OR ARE PEOPLE AT THE MERCY OF LEADERS WITH POWER TO MAKE DECISOONS AS THEY WISH). YOU DO SHOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE TERMS FAIRNESS AND CONSISTENCY, SO A GOOD START, SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO BE DONE.
