HOW DID THE GROWTH OF CITIES LEAD TO FORMATION OF GOVERNMENT? AND WHAT IS THE STONE AGE?
1 answer
When people live in small family groups, government isn't necessary. However, when people live in cities, more conflicts arise, and a central authority must be in control of services for the people. Also -- not everyone is needed for growing and harvesting of food. Those with more leisure time can pursue government, religion, and other specializations of labor.
