Answer:

The form of organizing city-states can draw multiple parallels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallels that can be drawn between the Poleis of Ancient Greece and the city-states of Mesopotamia are:

  • Both had independent city-states that had their own form of government.
  • One of the forms of government listed in both is Monarchy to be more specific this was evidenced in the Akkadians and Babylonians (Mesopotamia) and in Macedonia (Ancient Greece).
  • As well both have a more military oriented form of government in some of its cities for Ancient Greece this will be Sparta, who had a mix of monarchy and oligarchy form of government and for Mesopotamia was the Assyrians, which was a warrior society.
  • Both city-states had a system of recorded laws, such as the Babylonians for Mesopotamia and Athens for Greece.
  • Both had a particular deity that represented a city-state.
