because his laws were meant for everyone and it was fair. If a richperson and and a commoner made the bad thing they would get thesame treatment

If a commoner poked the eye of a man out he would have his eyepoked out too.

If a rich commoner poked the eye of another commoners eye out thenhe would have to sell his wife daughter or son to business for 3years.

Another thing, if a SLAVE had done something then he would alsohave more severe punishments. Like this:

If a commoner poked out the eye of another commoners bull’s eye outhe would pay the amount of that bull double.

If a slave poked out the eye of a commoners bull then he would havehis eye poked out too.

and I don’t know whats up with the eyes I’m just copying what theteacher (no worksheet) said.

and ill tell you something else i heard about his laws:
What the person did (pd): boy slap his father
Punishment (p): hand would get cut off

pd: Nun went into a wine store to get a drink ( i know crazy! theyhad wine!)
p:IS killed

PD: a wife disobeys her duties and ignores her husband
P: Killed

that’s all i remember but yea.
