My dear friend the main responsibility of the rulers are these: to protect man’s life, property and religious beliefs. These are three but cover every aspect of life those who live in the state belonging to ant religion but we see no ruler perform his duty well while it is written in the book National Law and it is the first law. The main responsibilities of Sumerian kings during the ancient Mesopotamian civilization include religious rituals, domestic affairs of state, military affairs, law creation, administrative leadership and execution of justice. Mesopotamian society considered the king as the representative of the gods on Earth with a divinely granted right to rule. Today’s rulers do not perform their duties well. |
