City-states are like little countries. City-states have there own government. They are ruled by there own ruler witch they choose. They even have there own army! So they have wars between city-states. You can say the city states in  <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma"> The laws of Hammurabi’s code. Hammurabi’s code has several rules. So I’m <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">only going to tell you a few. One law is that if you hit you dad you get your hand cut off! Another one is if you build a house and it collapses on the person who bought it and they die you got killed!I dont think these laws are fair, some of them are but onley three of them. Now do you think going to jail for like five years for something, is harsh? Well try living in <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Mesopotamia <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">.

You will have a great time at least I know I would. It will be the greatest vacation ever! You will be going to the most exiting place ever but whatever you do I wouldn’t disobey Hammurabi’s code! That code is harsh. I mean if you slap someone your hand gets cut off! That is really harsh don’t you think? Well I sure do. I wouldn’t want to disobey that code if I went to <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Mesopotamia <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">. I would probably be dead before I can come back.
