During a History class, Professor Pedro highlights the importance of understanding the different forms of social organization throughout history, including the structure of States. He explains that the State, as we know it today, has specific characteristics that differentiate it from other forms of social organization, such as the presence of a defined territory and a government that exercises authority over the population. Next, Professor Pedro asks: 'Considering the essential characteristics of a State - territory, population, and government - and the knowledge we have about the early civilizations, such as the Sumerians, for example, which of these civilizations can be considered a State, and why?'

The Sumerians were a short-lived State that had no influence on the definition of the modern concept of a State.

The Sumerian city-states had very small populations, which makes it unfeasible to consider them as States.

The Sumerians cannot be considered a State, as their city-states did not have organized governments.

Due to the absence of a clearly defined territory, the Sumerians do not fit the definition of a State.

The Sumerians can be considered one of the early examples of States in history, due to the presence and organization of all essential elements: territory, population, and government.
