blsea [12.9K]

Answer: When a neighboring state changes a law, those that are violating it will either cease or move. In this case, a same sex couple will most likely move to a neighboring state (unless they want to try to put up a fight with the officials). Then that state may be influenced and copy that law banning same sex marriage. The more this happens, states that don`t ban it will be "safe-states" for those couples. This process may continue and affect even more neighboring states. In fact, it can happen with any law. I`m not all that smart on this subject, and I would paste the link here, but Brainly won`t let me. Hope this helped, if not comment if you have questions

Answer:

hi hopefully this is right

Explanation:

1. Egyptian civilization, formed by 3000 B.C., benefited from trade and technological influence from Mesopotamia, but it produced a quite different society and culture. Because its values and its tightly knit political organization encouraged monumental building, we know more about Egypt than about Mesopotamia, even though the latter was in most respects more important and richer in subsequent heritage.

2. The history of ancient Egypt dates back to 3100 BC when nomads arrived and created the first settlements in the northern region of the Nile valley. It is believed the civilization lasted for about 3,000 years during which several invasions took place.

3. Politically, both Egypt and Mesopotamia had a government with one main ruler, but Egypt had a centralized government with a pharaoh, while Mesopotamia had a decentralized government with a king. Socially, both civilizations were patriarchal, but Egypt was more lenient towards women while Mesopotamia was stricter.

4. Pyramids are simply tombs or burial grounds while ziggurats are more of temples. 2. Ziggurats were built in Ancient Mesopotamia while pyramids were built in Ancient Egypt and Southern America. ... Ziggurats are chamber less while pyramids usually have internal chambers.

5. Due to the lack of farming methods, the Mesopotamian farmers hand harvested most crops. Because of the unpredictable flood, and lack of farming tools and methods, Egypt had a better profit in crops and had developed farming system.

6. The social structure in Ancient Egypt had smaller nobility and had fewer merchants than Mesopotamia. ... The job specializations in the Mesopotamian civilization priests, farmers, merchants, craftsmen and many more. In Mesopotamia, the priests and the nobles would be at the top of the social class.
