This is a clay tablet with Hammurabi's Code of Laws inscribed. Law is written codes and policies that the people who belong to this society must follow. If you did not it was punishable and it was a way of maintaining authority. One reason why these laws were invented is very clear. It was obviously to keep society fair and maintain peace and balance. However, they helped maintain authority and social classes in society. The invention of Law has affected all societies in some way and will continue to do so throughout history.
