The Code of Hammurabi contributed to the development of the political idea of Imperialism. This is because the code was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes, proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code thus set a precedent for future codes of law and established the concept of a centralized rule or government, which is a key aspect of Imperialism.
