Which of the following is NOT an ancient contribution to modern governance and legal concepts?

• A. Hammurabi's Code
• B. Athenian Democracy
• C. Roman Law Influence
• D. The Internet

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing what counted as governance and legal developments in ancient times. Hammurabi's Code is an early written set of laws from Babylon, showing how rules and consequences were formalized. Athenian democracy shows an early form of citizen participation in decision-making, a direct link to how governments are organized. Roman law contributed long-lasting principles and systematic legal reasoning that influenced many modern legal systems. The Internet, by contrast, is a modern invention created in the late 20th century to connect people and share information; it did not originate or shape ancient governance or legal concepts. So it’s not an ancient contribution to governance and law.
