Question

true or false: chiefdoms have bureaucracies, or formal division of powers

Answer 1

True. Chiefdoms typically have some form of bureaucratic structure and division of powers, although they may not be as complex or formalized as in state-level societies. Chiefdoms often have a centralized leadership (the chief) and may include various subordinate leaders or officials who help manage and organize the community's affairs. This structure allows for the administration of resources, social organization, and the resolution of disputes, reflecting an organized system of governance.
