Option B, It is the oldest known set of laws, is false.

Explanation:

The oldest written law code was the Ur-Nammu law code. This law code was written around 300 years before the law code of Hammurabi. The Ur-Nammu law is the law of the Eshunna town, of king Lipit-Ishtar of Isin.

On the other hand, the Hammurabi code is a collection of 282 regulations, established by Hammurabi, the king of Babylon in 1750 BC. He was the one who wanted his people to know about his rules and laws thus he ordered his officers to display his laws publicly.

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
