Government Claim

801177_7 — 2024-10-07 19:16:03 UTC

I think that the Government is the most influential as it controlled everyone's actions and day to day life.

Evidence 1

For example in the Code of Hammurabi it states “Those who did not show care and respect for the property of others had to pay a fine. This is because the government was trying to convince people to respect others property.

Evidence 2

Another piece of evidence from Document 5 it shows “ If the house of a builder kill the son of the owner, that builders son shall be put to death”. Hammurabi created this law so the builder is put to justice with the intent of an eye for an eye.

Evidence 3

According to Document 2 it states “In the Code of Hammurabi, the laws concerned daily life,business, medicine, property, and family.”

Reasoning 1

This suggests that if you are not considerate of your property and others you must pay for it or you will be severely punished by the government. This supports the claim because respecting property is something someone needs to do every day.

Reasoning 2

This supports the claim because even if it is rare for a house to fall on its owner it ca cost people their life.This shows that some of the laws can even get you killed if you are not cautious and even one of the least harsh punishments is getting your hands chopped off.

A piece of evidence from the text states “People no longer had to move with the seasons in search of food, so they could build permanent homes and structures. Villages turned into towns, and towns grew into cities.”

Counter claim reasoning

This shows that with a stable food supply communities can grow and thrive and without a stable food supply the people would always be moving making it hard to make a permanent home.

Counter claim

Food supply is the most important characteristic of Mesopotamia. A stable food supply is the most important because without a stable food supply how are people going to live without food.

Reasoning 3

This shows that the government had the biggest impact on ancient Mesopotamia by suggesting that the government had control of overall everything in life.

Explanation

The government impacted Mesopotamia the most by making the people pay taxes. Another reason the government impacted Mesopotamia is by making people follow the laws of Mesopotamia.
