St. Thomas Aquinas was a Catholic Saint who wrote the The Summa Theologica, which was written as an introduction to the Catholic religion and to use reasoning to explain the existence of God and God’s position in government.
Hammurabi was an exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land.
Both of these men believed that God played a major role in government.
St. Thomas believed that God governed men individually and therefore all government acted under Divine intellect.
Hammurabi feared God and used that fear to create the fist record of laws that we know of. Theses laws were influenced by his belief in God and therefore, God was instrumental in the creation of these laws.
