The intent of written law codes, such as Hammurabi’s Code, was primarily **to create more fairness and equality in the legal system**. These codes aimed to provide clear and consistent rules that governed behavior, established consequences for actions, and sought to create a sense of order within society. Hammurabi's Code, for example, included laws that addressed a wide range of issues and aimed to protect the rights of various social classes, although it also reflected the social hierarchies of its time.
