I'm confused by what this question means:

"Analyze the benefits and liabilities afforded by classical state to their people."

The part that confuses me is "afforded by classical sate to their people"

Does this mean what are the liabilites and benefits that the Empires inflected onto their people? OR does it mean what liabilites/ benefits the people gave the empire?

Thanks!!!
 
the liabilites and benefits that the Empires inflected onto their people

For instance, when some of the Hebrews people suggested they replace their system of rule by Judges with rule by a King, Jeramiah protested: our taxes will go up, and our sons will be drafted.

The benefit was that they could more easily steal the land from the Philistenes.
