They shared some aspects of their religion. Remember that the Aztec civilization reached it's apex when the Mayan had already fallen. So the aztecs based a lot of their beliefs on the Mayan's ones. They took the idea of the deity known as the Feathered Serpent as their creator, the one who tought them how to farm maize. The Mayan named it Kukulkan and the Aztecs Quetzalcoatl. Another example is the god of rain and thunder named Chaac by the Mayans and Tlaloc by the aztecs.

Both of these cultures built step pyramids to honor their gods, although they have a lot of differences, they were built to be precisely aligned with different astronomical elements, such as the sun or the moon.

Answer:

Conflict Theorists.

Explanation:

This statement states that a powerful group of elites created the institution of the state to maintain a status quo that exists to benefit themselves. As this is done by the use of power, both financial and political, it ignores the wishes of those who do not wield any power or influence, and the thought process behind this is stemming from an ideology which exists to fight for limited resources, this is synonymous with how Marx described the Conflict theory.

Zarrin [17]

The feeling that Oscar is going to have an accident if he does not circle his car five times before he gets in it represents an obsession.

Courts frequently and regularly change or modify precedents because of the rule of stare decisis.

Rina8888 [55]

That statement is false

Modifications indeed happens from time to time, but it happens rarely. In fact, most of the time, courts on current time would use the decision made by the court in the past in order to ensure the same decision would be applicable to similar cases.
