The "e<span>lastic clause."</span>
Laws were decided by governors that were appointed by the kings of the mother country
Pyramids were the largest buildings in Mayan cities and were built as temples and royal tombs. Shrines where sacrifices were made to the gods were at the top, while burial chambers were hidden deep inside. The pyramids were built of stone, and covered with red-painted plaster, but this plaster has not survived.
Hope This Helps!!!
That the people should govern themselves but there should be a set number of laws. And someone to enforce these laws. And they should be very protective as to not let things slide. They didn't want to have a king they wanted a democracy where they would hold elections and the people got to choose there leader.
True, that's what your text book says...
