in ancient Mesopotamia, the government was the most important and influential character of civilization.

evidence

the government was the most influential and it shows because the government helped people believe in the things the gods and kings did. an example includes the kings convincing everyone that it was right to put people to death if they broke into someones house.

reasoning

this is important because it shows how the government really influenced people in Mesopotamia back then, so much for them to believe that something wrong in the laws, would be right and would actually help.

2nd evidence

another piece of evidence that shows that the government was the most important is how the government even influenced the kings, even though the kings were so powerful and ruled over all their parts of the land, they still obeyed the laws that were in place at the time. the laws that they followed included, the breaking in houses one, and the one saying "an eye for an eye" literally meaning that.

this is inportent because it shows how even the most powerful people in that time were sevearly influenced by the government and continued to obey the laws.
