Laws are rules that a society makes to maintain order and keep citizens and their possessions safe. Most countries have thousands of laws that are enforced by police officers with the help of court systems.

Laws today are based on those of earlier societies. Ancient Egypt had laws in 3000 B.C. They were based on common sense views of right and wrong. All people were equal under the law. When a person broke the law, their punishment could be as simple as returning a stolen item or as severe as lashings from a whip. Sometimes, a person’s entire family could be punished for their crimes.

Later, there was the Code of Hammurabi from the land of Babylon. It was the first written code of law in history and was created in 1772 B.C. It included 282 laws in total. This is where we get the phrase, “an eye for an eye” as that was a punishment. There were laws about rewards for returning slaves to owners, laws about marriage, laws about compensation for theft and loss, and laws about responsibility if a house collapsed. These laws were originally written on giant stone tablets. Some tablets still exist and are kept in the Louvre Museum.

Later, the Romans created their first legal text, the Law of the Twelve Tables, in the mid-5th century B.C. These laws were mostly civil, meaning they were private laws about how citizens interacted. That meant Romans focused on laws about property and possession. These laws were so well formed that they have affected lawyers ever since.

Without these ancient examples, our modern laws would be very different. We have many laws today, and new ones are still being created by governments. Sometimes, governments change past laws as well. In the early 20th century, the government banned alcohol in the U.S. Later, the government made alcohol legal and set a drinking age. This is just one example of how laws can be changed.
