Mali Government

Mali Government- B+

 The Mali was the 2nd biggest empire in Africa. The founder of them was Sandiata Keita. He cared a lot about the trade routes and built a strong military to protect them. He also created the constitution of Mali. He created a government that was divided into groups. These groups were Personal Responsibilities, Social Organization, Property Rights, and Environmental Protection.

Multiple kings after Sanditia Keita, was Mansa Musa. Mansa Musa was greatly respected by Arab people, and he was the most well known of the Arabs too. Mansa Musa was a man of islamic faith, so while Mansa Musa was in charge he made a pilgrimage to Mecca. When he went to Mecca for it, he became more well known because of it.

In the time of Mansa Musa, the Mali empire was divided into provinces. The provinces had towns, and the towns had mayors just like today. Mansa Musa died though, and things went downhill. Other empires started taking over parts of Mali, and no one knew what to do. That was the end of the Mali.

I gave the Mali Empire a B+ because they conquered lands, they had very powerful, strong, and respectful leaders, but in the end it completely fell apart. Mansa Musas sons started to try to take over, but they couldn't take over so the Songhai invaded Mali.
