Which of these statements best assesses the contributions of the Code of Hammurabi to U.S. political thought?

Answer 1

The Code of Hammurabi does not directly contribute to U.S. political thought as it predates the development of the United States by thousands of years. However, its emphasis on the establishment of laws and the concept of justice may have indirectly influenced the development of legal systems and ideas of fairness that are foundational to modern U.S. political thought.
