To complete the sentence, we need to choose the option that best describes the concept of "the rule of law" established under Hammurabi.

The rule of law is the principle that all people are equal before the law, meaning that no individual or group is above the law and that everyone is subject to the same set of laws. This promotes fairness, equality, and justice within society.
