How could the unpredictable flooding of the rivers in Mesopotamia effect their government and religion?

The Mesopotamian people believed that the floods were punishments from the gods and the government along with religion was failing to make the gods happy.

Explanation:

The Mesopotamian government was directly related to the religion of the place, being basically a single system. For this reason, unpredictable floods have managed to affect the government and religion at once. This was because the people believed that the floods were caused by the will of the gods and it was the duty of the priests to keep the gods happy so that the people were not punished.

Since the floods were divine punishments, the people failed to consider the influence of the Church and the government's ability to protect them.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
