Descripción de eR 8 | Ancient Wisdom | 4,000 years of law: From Hammurabi to Common Law

In this episode of the eRochefoucauld podcast, Evan continues the series on Ancient Wisdom by telling the story of the 4,000 years in development of law, due process, and the obligations by which all people hold their governments, and each other, accountable. This story, like most, begins in Mesopotamia, with the Code of Ur-Nammu, the Code of Hammurabi, and the laws of Moses and the Torah, to Ancient Greece and Rome, via the stories of the death of Socrates, and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and finally to the Magna Carta, the Renaissance, the development of English Common Law, and the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. It was a long and uncertain journey from ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ to no citizen being deprived ‘of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.’ But such is life, and such is history. We do not explore history to memorize dates or repeat old injustices, but to stumble forward, a little bit better and truer and more just, with each step.
