<u>Answer:</u>
“A single King had complete control over the Mayan government” describes how the Maya civilization was governed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Maya civilization was the old American civilization developed by the indigenous people of Mesoamerica and is well-known for its art, mathematics, architecture, logosyllabic script and astronomical system.
The political system during the Maya civilization was quite decentralized as there were many city-states which were governed by the rulers or heads and they were intern controlled by the kings.
The whole authority was given to the king as they believed that kings got ruled by the god will. There were no armies and the religious practises were part and parcel of the life of the people at that time.
