Leadership was a key factor in the creation of great civilization. Paca the Great was a leader that expanded Mayan power and initiated a building program that produced Mayan's finest architecture and Arts. Moctezuma's leadership played a role in building the last stage of the temple Ehecatl and he conquered some regions in Mexico. However, his leadership ended up being not so good for Aztecs when he helped Spaniards to conquer Mexico because he was convinced that Hernan Cortez was a god. Moctezuma was lapidated by his people.

Answer:

hi makenzie!

Explanation:

Knowing how to lead is a key factor in creating a great civilization.  

K'inich Janaab' Pakal (23 March 603 CE - 31 March 683 CE) was the Maya king of Palenque in the modern-day State of Chiapas, Mexico. Also known as Pacal el Grande, he is most famous for taking the city of Palenque from bad times to great power, his construction projects in the city, (especially the Temple of the Inscriptions), and his elaborately carved sarcophagus lid which has been interpreted by some to depict an ancient astronaut riding on a rocket ship. Pacal assumed the throne of Palenque at the age of 12, in 615 CE, and ruled successfully until his death at the age of 80.  

Pacal was the son of Lady Sak K'uk who reigned as Queen of Palenque from 612-615 CE.  

Pacal emphatically traced his lineage back to a deity as well as to royal humans, and other rulers also found it wise to establish divine ancestors. A Maya ruler served as the human manifestation of gods on earth. As the intermediary between humans and gods, he claimed the power to control the supernatural forces of the universe. In rituals he nurtured and glorified the gods, seeking to maintain the always precarious balance of nature in an agricultural society.

Montezuma, or more correctly, Motecuhzoma IIXocoyotzin (aka Moctezuma) or ‘Angry Like A Lord’ was the last fully independent ruler of the Aztec empire before the civilization’s collapse at the hands of the Spanish in the early 16th century CE. Taking the position of tlatoani, meaning ‘speaker’, in 1502 CE he would rule as an absolute monarch until 1520 CE, during which time he expanded the empire and was considered a god by his people and a manifestation and perpetuator of the sun.

An Absolute Ruler

Motecuhzoma was the son of the great leader Axayacatl (r. 1469-1481 CE) and was one of the best warriors under his uncle Ahuitzotl (r. 1486-1502 CE). In particular, he distinguished himself in the Aztec campaigns in Tehuantepec and Xoconochco. On the death of Ahuitzotl, Motecuhzoma assumed the highest position in Aztec society and he became, in a sumptuous coronation ceremony, the undisputed religious and political leader or tlatoani in 1502 CE.

Motecuhzoma set about widening the powers of the tlatoani position by simultaneously reducing the duties of the chief of internal affairs (Tlacaellel or Cihuacoatl) so that he became, in effect, absolute ruler and undisputed leader of the Triple Alliance of the three great cities of Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco and Tlacopan. Motecuhzoma also elevated the status of the nobility by further differentiating them from the rest of society through an increased emphasis on titles, distinguishing clothes and insignia and etiquette at court.

Motecuhzoma commanded, then, an empire which stretched from the northern limits of Mexico to today’s Guatemala. Indeed, he even expanded it and fought four major wars so that only the Tarascans in the east and the Tlaxcalans in the west remained unconquered.  

Moctezuma was lapidated by his people.

HELP PLEASEEEEE 25 POINTS. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Why did many colonists protest the Stamp Act?Think also of the colonial argument
Arada [10]
The colonists protested the Stamp Act because they were being taxed without representation in Parliament. They had no say in the taxes that they had to pay, which lead to much anger and conflict among the colonies. They didn’t understand why they still had to pay taxes if they were no longer living in Britain or being represented as part of Britain’s government.

N economics, when discussing the factors of production, the term land refers to A) farmland. B) real estate. C) capital goods. D
Bumek [7]

The correct answer is D.

The factor of production called land involves all inputs and facilities that are natural hence, not artificially produced by humans (that would be the case of capital goods, such as machines, for example). Land refers to raw materials, minerals, energy sources and also both arable and constructible soils.

The retribution paid for this factor of production is called rent.
