Why were sumerian communities were called city-states?

Each of the cities were a separate political unit. As also with the ancient Greek cities states like Athens, Sparta, Corinth, etc. and the Italian cities during the Renaissance like Florence, Venice, etc. The city owned the land around it. People owed their allegiance to their individual cities. Even today in the time of national states, we still use words like politics, political, politician which stem from the word "polis" meaning city.

1- in bradbury's  fahrenheit 451, all books are banned and burned upon discovery. in the nazi germany, books considered to be subversive to the regime would be burned to keep the population from generating ideologies that could challenge nazism.

2- was bradbury correct in his literal interpretation of  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”? in some way, yes. when knowledge is not only limited, but also controlled, the people tied to it are led to their demise. just like in the novel, people in nazi germany who owned  subversive books were punished not only by the burning of their property, but also by the discrimination that followed after such a public form of consequence. if a person was seen being confiscated  subversive  books, they may be considered as an ally to the jews, which meant pretty much the same as being the enemy back then. because of the extreme exclusion and suffering that followed this punishment, it's almost like dying a slow death.

in this way, the phrase  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” is both literal and figurative.
