How do complex institutions in Mesopotamia make the civilization successful?

Question

Complex Institutions=Economy, Government, Laws, Writing system, how do these institutions make Mesopotamia a more successful civilization?

Answer 1

What a coincidence, my class is studying complex institutions and Mesopotamia, too!
Well, compare Mesopotamia to a village without those complex institutions. The more complex institutions there are, the better off the city will be (more jobs, more things can get done, more skills, etc.). All those organizations are key components of a working civilization (or they should be). That's what I think.

Answer 2

there is a problem with complexities and city of ur these cross road of early civilization, the directions of desires are at play here just as good leads to better, and bad to worse, you are locked in an attitude rather than a realistic application of a success,(what a ruler does to get success may kill half of those who aren't going to go along with it) today is no different the same (pecking order) people suck to succed where ever one can rule so the mans inumanity to man is over looked, there were never institution there was only awesome power, that's not complex, kinda like kids stuff if we were their today with our knowledge

Answer 3

Sumerians first to make city states, discovered the wheel, made metal work, weapon and tool, built with block made with mud, high walls to protect the city from enemies, enough food from farming that allowed them to do another thing for ex. trade, writing cuneiform system to keep records, and very useful in trade, the king, nobles, officials and priest were the most important people, since the Sumerians, then for the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Israelites,Persians, they believe in the king power and the goverment, laws like the Haburabi code were strictly followed and that put eveything under control.
