Think about the various types of leadership and government in ancient Mesopotamian. How does this change over time? Write an essay about kingdoms controlled or ruled by the priesthood (Sumer), warrior kings (Akkad), and law-giver kings like Hammurabi (Babylon). Compare the three styles and how they were effective for each civilization. How does all of this effect the various social classes? Which type of leadership would you have preferred to live under if you were in ancient Mesopotamia?
