Tentang eBook ini

“Written Laws” explores the historical transition from customary law to codified legal systems and their lasting impact on civilization. The book examines how these written codes, like Hammurabi’s Code, provided a more predictable framework for governance, fostering economic development and social stability. Intriguingly, the codification of laws offered a means to protect individual rights, although these rights were often limited by modern standards. The book contextualizes each legal system within its historical, social, and political background, highlighting the rise of centralized states and the evolution of writing.

Chapters delve into specific examples such as ancient Egyptian law, the laws of the Hebrew Bible, and the Twelve Tables of Rome. The analysis considers the content of the laws, their societal context, and enforcement mechanisms. The book demonstrates how these early legal codes have influenced subsequent legal traditions, including civil law and common law systems, shaping our very understanding of justice.
