The political structure of the Aztecs and the Maya both featured a system of city-states, each ruled by a local leader or king who exercised significant authority over their territory. Both civilizations had a hierarchical society with nobles, priests, and commoners, and religion played a crucial role in governance. Additionally, both relied on tribute systems to support their economies and maintain power over conquered regions, underscoring the importance of military strength and alliances. However, the Aztec Empire was more centralized under a single emperor, while the Maya had multiple independent city-states.
