Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
The invention of writing had a profound impact on the development of law. Prior to writing, laws were largely a matter of oral tradition, passed down through generations. This method, while sometimes effective, was unreliable. Laws could be easily forgotten, misrepresented, or disputed, leading to inconsistencies and injustices.
With the advent of writing, legal systems underwent a transformation. Laws could be recorded permanently, ensuring consistency and reducing ambiguity. This allowed for the creation of more complex legal codes, like the Code of Hammurabi in ancient Mesopotamia, which outlined specific punishments for specific crimes.
Writing also allowed for the dissemination of legal knowledge. Laws no longer belonged solely to an elite group responsible for their preservation. They could be copied, distributed, and studied by a wider audience, promoting greater understanding and potentially, fairer application. This accessibility also fostered a sense of social contract as people became more aware of the rules governing their society.
In conclusion, writing''s impact on law cannot be overstated. It facilitated the shift from an oral, transient system to a written, enduring one, fundamentally changing the way societies function and interact with their legal frameworks. This development was crucial in building more just and stable civilizations.
