Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there is no document attached, the inferences that we can make about law and order in Aztec society is that the Aztecs were a very strict and well-organizaed society. Complexity characterized the Aztec legal society that aimed to maintain the law, order, and respect for the Aztec institutions. The Aztec emperor issued decrees that were followed by Aztec judges. These regulations passed from one generation to another generation. Many of those laws were carved in stone, in what was know as pictographs.

The great Aztec civilization was one of the most important civilizations in Mesoamerica and inhabited the region of what today is Mexico City. There, they built Tenochtitlan over a lake, their capital city.
