Many historians believe the Code of Hammurabi has had a significant impact on the development of laws that we still use today. What evidence can you find for the connection between the code and our laws today?

Hammurabi's Code has indeed, significantly impacted the development of our modern laws. Evidence of the connection between the code and our laws can be seen in the laws of nearly every country, and that evidence is proportionality. Modern laws are proportional in the sense that if one were to commit a severe crime, they would later administered severe punishment.

A second piece of evidence to further display a connection would be capital punishment. While there are many crimes that may result in capital punishment, the main one to recognize in this instance is murder. This ties back to the famous "an eye for an eye," law in Hammurabi's code, and in this case it would be "a life for a life".

hey man i never said i was right

but im a great guesser

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
