No. Ideas like 'the political rights of all citizens' developed only about 5,500 years later, around the time of the French Revolution. All societies before that (including Athens, the so-called birthplace of democracy) nowhere had things like universal suffrage. And the right to vote or be elected developed only very gradually in the 19th century, starting with only the money- or land-owning male citizens. Political rights for all citizens including women only came in the 20th century .

Mesopotamia had the same structure as all other societies for thousands of years to come: an all-powerful king, two influential groups namely the senior priests and the king's advisers, and the rest was there to be the king's obedient subjects.

Did Mesopotamia promote the political rights of all citizens?

Mesopotamia, often regarded as one of the world's earliest civilizations, did not promote political rights for all citizens in an egalitarian sense. Social hierarchy played a significant role, with rights and privileges largely dependent on one's class, profession, and gender. While some free citizens, particularly in urban centers, could participate in local governance and hold certain rights, many others, including women and slaves, had limited or no political power. Thus, the political rights in Mesopotamia were not universally accessible.


Did Egypt promote the political rights of all citizens?
