Cities usually had different social groups. Some people were richer and more powerful than others. There were three levels of society. At the top were the most powerful government officials, priests, and soldiers. The society's second level was merchants, teachers, laborers, farmers, and craftsmen. At the bottom of the social scale were the slaves, who often had been captured during battle. The Normal People in ancient Mesopotamia, had their own rights and could do almost anything they wanted to do that didn't break the law. They had the slaves working for them anywhere the owner pleased. They had jobs where they got paid. Slaves were controlled by higher ranked authority, like kings, priests, elders, and normal Mesopotamian people. They did not have any of their own rights. They did not make money for all of their work, but they did get a small shelter to live in while not working. They had to live with many other people in their shelter who worked for the same owner.
