1. In Sumerian city-states, politics and religion were intimately related. <u>The governor was the Prince-priest. the "High priest" or "Patesi", who represented the deity. </u>The priest administered the government of the city, the income of the temple, led the soldiers, supervised the maintenance of the canals and organized the cult. The temple then played a fundamental role. It was the axis of political, religious and also economic life.
2. With the expansion of the Sumerian cities, <u>the administration becomes more complex and there is a change in the attributes of the Patesi, who will be dedicated exclusively to worship.</u>
3. Military leaders converted into Kings will perform the rest of the functions. <u>These kings will maintain the division of Mesopotamia into small states:</u> each city, was a state in itself, with its own institutions of government, did not depend on a regional or imperial major power.
