a. true
b. false

The correct answer is False

Explanation

The Sumerians were a civilization of Mesopotamia between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers recognized for the advances in agriculture made by its inhabitants. Its social organization was hierarchical and stratified (as were those of all civilizations). At the top of the social pyramid was the king, who was followed in importance by priests, military chiefs and high-level officials. Subsequently, there were the merchants, junior officials, skilled craftsmen, finally, the peasants and artisans; at the lowest level of society corresponds to slaves. It was also characterized by being divided into cities, each one was centered on a temple dedicated to a god (patron of the city) and ruled by a patesi (The patesi were supreme priests and absolute military chiefs and an aristocracy constituted by bureaucrats and priests) or sometimes by a king. So, the correct answer is False as citizens did not chose the council or priest that represented them.
