Laws:
There are not many laws from ancient Egypt that are preserved. However, we believe that most of the laws are basic right and wrong, and are the concept of Ma'at. Ma'at represented truth, order, justice, and balance. This made is so that everyone was equal, except the slaves. However, when one person from a family was punished for something, often the rest of the family was too.
