Imagine you are the Emperor Justinian and you have to create a new law code. Write a letter to your advisors explaining what principles this law code is based on (like justice), what kind of laws should be written, and why you are doing this in the first place. In English

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

My letter would be the following.

Dear advisors,

If something has made the Roman Empire in the past, is the law. This has to be the standard for the Byzantine Empire.

That is why I consider it is necessary to create a new set of laws that make a true impact on the Empire. In recent times, people have found ways to break the law and diminish their commitment to maintaining the Empire as it is: a great kingdom.

We new a new code of laws that brought back the discipline and respect we use to have. That is why I need your counseling and experience to create this new legislation that is going to serve us to instill the proper discipline, tolerance, and respect to maintain order in the Empire.

the principles this law code is based on are universal and aimed at the constant improvement of our society.

I ask you to consider a series of laws focused on preventing and punish crime, laws about property, respect for the elderly, women, and children, and laws that promote solid religious thinking that makes us better.

Thank you counselors for your hard work. We do not have much time. So I invite you to start working on these laws in order to have them ready in our next counseling meeting in two months.

Your majesty

Emperor Justinian

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
