The ancient Sumerians are credited for the invention of government. They were affected politically and economically by it.

Due to the newly constructed organized labor, citizins who used to live in sumer at this time could work together to form an economy by building canals and roads that made trading easier. They had also set-up a government to make laws. These laws, enforced by courts, were made so the Sumerian people would know what was expected of them. The ancient Mesopotamia's created a government that was a combination of monarchy and democracy. The kingdoms of Sumer were organized into city-states and the Kings ruled each city-states for the gods. They were assisted by priests, scribes, and nobles. But before 3500 BC priests ruled Sumer.

These two categories match together because if a city has no organized government which rules, makes laws and cuts the line, a city could easily collapse without someone responsible for the citizens. In the other side, without an city the government would have no job and could not express his talent for being responsible.
