People didn't have to move anymore like nomads, they could settle down and grow crops near river valleys. This enabled them to grow surpluses that could be traded with other civilizations. This meant that the amount of wealth grew and individuals started becoming richer than the others, leading in them becoming important in the society and developing political systems.
