Mesopotamia societies are comprised of some major civilizations like the Sumerian, Assyrian, Akkadian, and Babylonian civilizations. These civilizations has and share so many things in common. Parft being the classification of individuals into three classes with the nobility class (Priests and Priest kings) being the highest. This as a result of their believe of thier rulers being divinely mandated by the gods.

As for the third point, the societies became a birth place of a circular society that separated the church from the state. This could be seen in the subsequent civilizations which adopted a more approachable way of selecting their leaders while keeping their religious leaders outside the court. It also metamorphosed as a result of the free citizens becoming a combination of modern day middle and lower class like the merchants, craftmen, farmers, fishermams, hunters e.t.c..

Part 2 needs revision as a result of the fact that, the society's growth didn't lead to more complex government and bureaucracies, but rather, the ancient method of one ruler is still maintained with few council of elders (with the priest inclusive) employed to assist the ruler in enforcing his laws
