I found this on Hammurabi's code in the Catholic Encyclopedia, www.newadvent.org
Of all the ancient legislations, that of the Hebrews alone can stand comparison with the Babylonian Code. The many points of resemblance between the two, the Babylonian origin of the father of the Hebrew race, the long relations of Babylon with the land of Amurru, have prompted modern scholars to investigate whether the undeniable relation of the two codes is not one of dependence. The conclusions arrived at may be breifly stated as follows. Needless to notice that Hammiurabi is in no wise indebted to the Hebrew Law. As to the latter, its older part, the Code of the Covenant (Exod., xxi, 1- xxiii, 19), is intended for a semi-nomadic people, and therefore cannot depend on Hammurabi's enactments. Both codes derive from a common older source, to be sought in the early customs of the Semitic race, when Babylonians, Hebrews, Arabs, and others were still forming one people. The work of the Hebrew lawgiver consisted in codifying these ancient usages as he found them, and promulgating them under Yahweh's authority. The early Israelite code may, perhaps, seem imperfect in comparison with the Babylonian corpus juris, but, whilst the latter is founded upon the dictates of reason, the Hebrew Law is grounded on the faith in the one true God, and is pervaded throughout by an earnest desire to obey and please Him, which reaches its highest expression in the Law of Deuteronomy.
I didn't think you could.
But not all 10 commandments apply.
But that's not the point. You attempted to equate Hinduism, Bhuddism and the Code of Hamurabi to the code(s) which historically informed US law and its practice. You failed.
If you doubt the root origins of US law look to English Law not Indian, to the Mayflower Compact, not the to the Far East, to "the Reformation," not "the Enlightenment."
Having one God and not using his name in vain are not the basis of US law.
Actually, quite a number of early Ameerican civil codes prosecuted just for that act. Elected servants in many colonies and in the early Constitutional era were required to profess a Christian faith, and have a comportment which exhibited moral Christian behavior. For Christian's that includes all the 10 commandments.

Which you quote at the end, "...the Hebrew Law is grounded on the faith in the one true God, and is pervaded throughout by an earnest desire to obey and please Him, which reaches its highest expression in the Law of Deuteronomy."
Not exactly the Code of Hammurabi, is it?
