The Unjust Of Hammurabi's Codes
Some of Hammurabi's codes were just but most of them were unjust. Hammurabi's codes were too rough and unfair to people because son's would get their hands cut off for things that could have been handled differently and better,debts were not fair, and slaves were treated differently than free people. In document C, law number 195, it said " If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut off." This law was unjust because they should have no right to cut the son's hands for hitting his father For instance, instead of cutting off his hands they could have grounded him or hit him back so he can respect his father next time. This situation could have been handled better and with more respect.
