Answer 1

The correct response is: Both kingdoms were located in Mesopotamia.

While both cultures did have written laws, the laws specific to each civilization were unique to them. Additionally, they were not ruled by the same king simultaneously, as they were different cultures with their own rulers over different periods. The presumption of innocence was not a prominent legal concept in either culture as we understand it today.
