There was an assembly of wise men elected by the people, who could overrule the king and get rid of laws if they didn't like it. These are called assemblies and each city state had its own king and own assembly. 
#2 The Sumerians did not write down laws. The king passed a law and everyone was expected to learn and obey it. Breaking a law in Sumer you would be punished and the punishment is set for infraction. For example if you stole something you would get punished for what you stole. If you also offended the Gods you would be punished. Also all the laws of Babylon were taken from the laws of Sumer so they were pretty much the same thing. 
#3 In Assyria the government was led by a king. Military officers were in charge of local governments. The king had other advisors as well, which was pulled from the noble. The most important of these advisors was the chief or the staff. They could decide on who can talk to the king and who can not. Scribes were the ones who could read or write. There was no assembly for who could overrule the king in Assyria. The king's word was law.

For example, someone drew a head on the clay tablet, meaning that they were talking about a head. ]]> 2021-11-11 16:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bwroble/s0gq4nw9of5je8cd/wish/1884631261 Ally Hines https://padlet.com/bwroble/s0gq4nw9of5je8cd/wish/1884636942 1).There are 4 different classes.

Each type of Mesopotamian generation like the Sumer, Assyrians, Babylonians, had their different kinds of music. The Sumerians played music for the gods and they made a woodwind instrument that is made of bones or wood and when you blow into it, it makes a flute-like sound. The Babylonians also continued the tradition of Sumerian music and added it to a piano-like instrument. The Assyrians however liked music that related to war or had loud sounds. Some of the instruments they used were horns and loud bass drums.
