Sumerian GovernmentThe Sumerian government was principally a bureaucracy. The monarchy effectively held power over great areas of land and diverse peoples by having a large and efficient "middle management." This middle management, which consisted largely of priests, bore all the responsibility of surveying and distributing land as well as distributing crops. There was never a Sumerian empire and power constantly shifted between cities. There were many leaders like Hammurabi who made the code of laws very sucessful.
