Answer 1

The Aztecs used local rulers to help them rule politically by maintaining their local rule but also requiring them to provide tribute. The local rulers were given the responsibility of collecting tribute from their own people, which included goods and resources. This tribute was then given to the Aztec Empire as a form of taxation. By involving the local rulers in the process, the Aztecs were able to maintain political control over the regions while still allowing the local rulers to exercise some authority over their communities.
