Answer 1

The type of U.S. law that is based on the code of Hammurabi is civil law. Hammurabi's code established principles and guidelines for civil matters, such as contracts, property, and torts. Although the modern legal system in the United States is much more complex and has evolved considerably since then, some concepts and principles from Hammurabi's code can still be found in civil law jurisdictions today.
