bullet::::- madame dupin contributes to the writings of her husband claude dupin, author of a book on two volumes, "reflections on some parts of a book called the "spirit of the laws"" in 1749, refuting the arguments advanced by montesquieu in his study ""the spirit of the laws"" published the previous year, in 1748. claude dupin defends the bankers attacked by montesquieu, while taking care not to name the philosopher and observing for himself the anonymity. indeed, montesquieu has a high protector, madame de pompadour. the reaction of montesquieu wasn't waited and asked his protector to intervene in his favor. with his help, montesquieu could deleted the editions of claude dupin. however, the book of montesquieu was placed in the "index librorum prohibitorum" in 1751 and the pope prohibits his reading. claude dupin published in 1752, a new but more moderate version of three volumes: "observations on a book called "spirit of the laws"" and that criticism, well argued, didn't know the fate of the first edition. this confrontation causes the rupture of relations between montesquieu and the dupins.

one of the most famous ancient near eastern texts, let alone artifactual text from the first babylonian dynasty is the “code of hammurapi”. the code is written in cuneiform on a 7 foot tall diorite stele that portrays the babylonian king receiving his kingship from the sun god, shamash, on the top of the stele with a collection of written laws at the bottom. the text itself explains how hammurabi came into power and created a set of laws to ensure justice throughout his territory, the divine role that was given to him. before presenting the laws written in the code, hammurabi states "when the god marduk commanded me to provide just ways for the people of the land (in order to attain) appropriate behavior, i established truth and justice as the declaration of the land, i enhanced the well-being of the people" and goes on to display the laws of just punishment for crimes and provides rules for his people to abide by. king hammurabi ruled babylon from 1792 to 1750 bce and his code will be noted as one of the oldest living written laws in history.
