In this unit, you learned about civilizations that once existed in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Within these civilizations, you learned about different types of
governments that were created to rule over people and lands. Identify some of the
different types of governments that you learned about and the civilization with which
they were associated. Compare and contrast these different governments, using facts
from the lessons. Next, imagine that you are a leader of a new civilization in this
region. Which type of government would you have supported in your kingdom or
empire? Why?
