Answer:
The Code of Hammurabi provided an important change in history because it was the first time that a document was established with laws that affected all points and elements that make up society.
Explanation:
Before the Hamurabi code was established, the laws that governed Mesopotamian territory were not documented, were passed on by word of mouth, modified when appropriate, were not comprehensive and did not include all points and elements of society. This caused Mesopotamia as well as other territories to suffer from a great legal and social disorganization. This disorganization was ended with the Hamurabi code that established laws in a document, which should be followed without being modified and that covered all social elements, controlling society efficiently, similar to what constitutions represent in society today.
