Detailed explanation-1: -Sumerian civilization featured a social class/hierarchical system with a ruling class, upper class, middle class, working-class, and enslaved class. The ruling class of Sumer included the king and the high priests. The largest social class was the working class, which mainly comprised farmers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upper Class. The upper class in the Mesopotamia class system comprised several different ranked groups. The king and his family, made up of the royal class, were at the top. They had the most privileges of all the classes in Mesopotamian society.
Detailed explanation-3: -There was no law that said the lower class could not move up the social scale, and most worked hard so that their children could move up the social scale by becoming a scribe, or a priest or priestess. The Slaves: When the Sumerians conquered another town, they brought prisoners back with them to serve as slaves.
