Answer:

Jade is unique when compared with other gems because in the excerpt it says "The value of jade to the Mayan people went far beyond its use as an art material. It had deep spiritual significance as well. The Mayan people saw a connection to water and plants in the mineral’s green color. Some evidence suggests that Mayan royalty associated jade with life and death. It was said that a small bead of jade placed on the tongue would absorb the spirit of a dying royal." So this shows that jade was big part of their culture. The event in recent history changed geologist’s ideas about where the Mayans and earlier people found the jade they used in their artwork is when Hurricane Mitch devastated Guatemala and Honduras in 1999, heavy rains and flooding exposed many previously covered deposits of jade. This included a large vein of a rare blue-green variety of jadeite that had been used by the Olmec people.

butalik [34]
He believed it was essential for the Union that states maintain strong, autonomous state governments. 
If the states were enfeebled, then discord would grow between them even more and people would not be fond of the federation as they would feel it was foisting unjust laws on them.  
I hope this helps, and my apologies if it somehow is incorrect.
