8 7. What is division of labor? Why was it important? Division of labor: when each worker specializes in a particular task or job. Because of the plow and irrigation, not everyone had to be farmers, so people could have other jobs and specialize in particular tasks.
9 8. What are the GRAPES of Civilization? Look at your GRAPES Graphic Organizer 1. Geography 2. Religion 3. Achievements 4. Politics 5. Economics 6. Social Structure
10 9. How does Sumer meet these? 1. Geography= Fertile Crescent, stable food supply 2. Religion= polytheism, ziggurat 3. Achievements= cuneiform, irrigation, wheel, etc. 4. Politics= King, empire 5. Economics= Trade, barter 6. Social Structure= social classes reflect power

15 14. What was the Social Structure in Sumer? Social Structure=Social Hierarchy The division of society by rank or class. King Priests and Government Officials Merchants, Traders, and Scribes Farmers and Laborers Slaves
16 15. Did Hammurabi s Code provide due process & equality before the law? Equality before the Law: This means regardless of race, gender, age, social class, etc. that all people are to be treated equally under our federal, state, and local laws. Due Process: Everyone is innocent until PROVEN guilty. You are allowed to have a lawyer and witnesses to defend you. You must be given a trial. Did Hammurabi s Code protect these rights? Not Exactly
17 Equality before the Law: If you were of low social class or a slave your punishments would be more harsh than if you were a government official. This means people were NOT equal before the law. Due Process: Accused persons were guilty until proven innocent and did not have rights like trial by jury, no cruel or unusual punishments, or a Bill of Rights protecting them. Eye for an eye remember?
