How did Babylonian law try to reconcile the needs of the state with the fact that it could not afford a large, professional bureaucracy?

The
Babylonian law tried to involve money on different parts of justice, equate crimes together regardless of what the intentions are. This view doesn't work with a large and professional bureaucracy as it would soon make the leading kingdom go bankrupt. The use of the state is demonstrated by the success of the laws. The leading kingdom believed that laws would be supported by volunteers, thus preventing anarchy, and establishing rule over the Babylonian people.
