Government


Government

Babylon was a strong empire, because it had a simple, yet effective government. It has everything it needs to be effective; laws with punishment and rewards, and the laws apply to everyone, not just some people. Their government was centered around one ruler. Whoever the ruler was at different times placed various other trusted rulers in charge of smaller cities or states to prevent rebellions against the set laws.


The laws were harsh even compared to our laws. If a surgeon did a surgery, and the patient died because of the surgeon, then the surgeon would get one of his hands cut off. Or if an architect built a house and it collapsed and killed its owner,  the architect was killed. Another example of a harsh law is that if a wife gets caught cheating on her husband or says that he is not her husband, then her husband gets to push her in a river to die. If a son says to his father that he is not his father anymore, his dad can shave his son's head, and sell him as a slave. Who does that?

  21. how did kings have power, i know it was a marriage between church and state, but how did the religion play into the idea of the ruler of the king, what was life like for peasants, im able to look at ww2 germany and see how the government affected the minds of the ppl and there lives but i cant seem to get that picture when i look at ancient societies.
    the reason i ask is because i see lots of similarities from then to today, i just like to see how government evolved over the ages and see where it is going...so far in america it seems to be going backwards back to a class system of rulers, and then everybody else
