Hammurabi is someone we've studied in our history. He was a pretty good king of Babylonia. I hadn't know there were any good ones, but he was. :) Perfect, he was not, but he didn't want people to obey him just because he had a good army. He didn't want a military dictatorship like Sargon (not a nice guy.) He believed that he was made king so that he could treat the people fairly. He developed the first set of written laws that we know of and called it, the Code of Hammurabi.
So, we made up our own code. It's subject to change and evaluation, but it's what we came up with nonetheless. The girls each contributed as well. We signed it and it hangs on our back door.
We still have a long way to go, I'm afraid. It hadn't even been 24 hours and I was sending each girl back there to look them over and see which rules they were breaking. It's a work in progress. You've got to start somewhere though, right? I'm open to ideas....
