Several fields of study were affected by the Mesopotamian legacy. To begin with, one of these legacies was various legal codes developed by Mesopotamian rulers. The most famous one was Hammurabi (1792-1750 B.C.E.), a Babylonian ruler who had various legal codes, guidelines, and precedents compiled.  

Also, a collection of stories about ancient Mesopotamia which centered around a legendary king of Uruk, who was part god. That later became a model for heroic epics.

The the world's first writing technique was developed as well.

For administrative and trade purposes they also used mathematics. Starting with the use of clay tokens to represent stores and traded goods.  The next step was the development of symbols.

The literature of Mesopotamia was also important.

Last but not least, the Babylonian astronomers could predict eclipses and solstices. They worked out a 12-month calendar based on the cycles of the moon. They divided the year into two seasons: summer and winter. The origins of astronomy and astrology date from this time.

Explanation:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
