The code of Hammurabi is a code of law (just a bunch of laws). It was important because Hammurabi wanted peace and justice in his kingdom, so he created these rules. The Hammurabi's code was the first legal document of laws and it also helped make a system of writing (cuneiform).
Hammurabi's Code was the first set of laws ever. There's the first, the second reason is that it was for the public to see, so it set the trail for other laws to follow.
It limited the punishments for crimes to no worse than the crime itself and of finite duration.
Hammurabi noticed the short reings of former cruel kings and he dictated the code and made a more civilized citizenship.
Because it was the first set of codified laws known in history.
so he was born in 1721 bc of course he made the code of hammurabi in 1749
Because the Code of Hammurabi was so stict and because it was common for punishment to be excruciating if not lethal members of Mesopotamia (Babyon) feared crossing over the government's line. Hammurabi believed in an eye for and eye.
It was because of the people have been scared of the code so they didn't disobey it.

Hammurabi had his code written on stone outside a temple so everyone could see it and follow it; because there were many rules, more than 200.
It means that the code was important not only for what it said, but also that was written down so that people could see the code but also follow it.

In the related links box below, I posted the Hammurabi code so you could read it.
So they could measure time and set dates for important events, such as the reading of Hammurabi's Code of Laws.
Most historians think so.
Hammurabi was a leader so he thought of the idea for writing laws down.
Hammurabi's Code was basically an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so I would assume you would be able to assault the person back.
That was the sixth King Hammurabi who noted that cruel rules had short reigns so he created the Hammurabi code. The Code's importance as a reflection of Babylonian society is indisputable. Hammurabi's laws were established to be the "laws of Justice" intended to clarify the rights of any "oppressed man." Mesopotamia society under the Hammurabi code was one of strict penalties for criminal offenses with punishment severe and varied according to the wealth of the individual. Hammurabi's rigidly centralized ruling system prospered from tribute and taxes, which he used to both compensate state dependents and finance extensive state irrigation and building projects. The code also gives us a clear sense of the ways ancient Babylonians invested divine authority in their secular leaders.
yes hammurabi promotes equalness because his laws stated an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth so he believed if you done something wrong it will come in return yo you
