There were at least eight different books of law in Ancient Egypt. The laws were based on right and wrong - heavily utilizing common sense to help decide moral values. Everyone except slaves were viewed as equals and were tried thusly, although if a person was sentenced, his family usually suffered the guilt of the crime as well.
