The intent of written law codes, such as Hammurabi’s Code, was **to create more fairness and equality in the legal system**. Hammurabi's Code aimed to establish standards for conduct, delineate rights and responsibilities, and ensure that justice was administered consistently, although it is important to note that the application of these laws often reflected the social hierarchy of that time.
