Instructions: Answer the following question(s).


60. As Mesoamerican populations grew, political institutions gained in power. How did the power of these institutions
affect Mesoamerican society?
ANSWER: The Mesoamericans built on the achievements of the Olmec and other predecessors and
developed new forms of political organization. As populations grew, new political forms
were necessary because a greater number of products were traded and social hierarchies
became more complex. Great cities were constructed to serve as centers of political life and
as arenas for religious ritual and spiritual experience. These cities were dominated by
increasingly impressive platforms and pyramids devoted to religious functions. Powerful
elites controlled the cities and the nearby towns and rural peasantry. These elites gained the
ability to mobilize growing numbers of laborers and soldiers to construct raised fields, canals,
reservoirs, and aqueducts, all of which increased productivity while transforming daily life.
The city's role as a religious center and commercial power provided both divine approval of
and a material basis for the elite's wealth and status. This elite controlled the state
bureaucracy, tax collection, and commerce. New religious and artistic interests also
developed. The power of the religious and political leaders can be measured by the scale and
impressive architecture at Teotihuacan and in the Maya cities. Linguistic developments and
even recreation in the form of a game played on ball courts were all direct results of new
political institutions. This game was associated with the creation myth and thus had deep
religious meaning. There is evidence that some players were sacrificed. There were also
negative consequences, such as more widespread warfare.

61. Mesoamerican cities were among the greatest in the world. Describe Teotihuacan as well as Tula, and the other great
cities described in the chapter. What made them great? Describe a city near to where you live and compare it to
Mesoamerican cities.
ANSWER: This question should provoke students to bring together many parts of the chapter. Students
should understand the political, economic, agricultural, and religious components of these
cities, each of which had complex social class systems, marketplaces and trade, highly
developed means of growing food for a large population, and extensive religious temples and
rituals. Their size drew farmers from their fields into urban craft production for a growing
long-distance trade network. These cities were religious, artistic, and trade centers that had

great influence on succeeding civilizations. Their architecture expressed their religion.
Enormous pyramids dedicated to the sun, moon, and other gods were built along the central
avenue. Some of these cities also developed technological breakthroughs in agriculture, such
as chinampas, which helped support the urban population. Students should be able to look at
their own world and make a comparison to these cities.

62. What was the Maya view of the cosmos?


ANSWER: The Maya cosmos was divided into three layers that were connected along a vertical axis that
traced the course of the sun. Human existence held an intermediate position between the
heavens and the underworld. A sacred tree rose through the three layers; its roots were in the
underworld and its branches reached into heaven. The pyramids were sacred mountains
reaching to the heavens.

63. What were the cultural and technological contributions of the Maya?
ANSWER: The Maya built on the contributions of the Olmec and also made many additions, such as the
calendar, writing systems, and mathematics. The Maya calendar tracked both the ritual cycle
and the solar cycle. The mathematical developments included the concept of zero and place
value. The writing system was a form of hieroglyphic inscription, and for paper the Maya
used tree bark and deerskin.

64. What were the major differences between the Maya and Toltec civilizations?
ANSWER: The Maya established city-states that were united by a common culture but not by a common
political or military system. Their achievements were artistic, agricultural, and architectural.
The Toltecs were less influential culturally but more influential in the areas of politics and
the military. They were more politically homogeneous, were under centralized rule, and
expanded their control through military conquest.

65. What was the influence of religion on politics in the Mesoamerican world?
ANSWER: Religion played an important role in the development and daily life of Mesoamerican cities.
Animism expressed the spiritual vitality of nature in the form of the rain god, sun god, and so
forth. To ensure agricultural productivity, Mesoamericans believed that the gods who ruled
the natural forces needed to be appeased in part through blood sacrifice. This necessitated
finding victims, preferably prisoners of war (although voluntary bloodletting by nobles was
also common). Thus religious belief was partially responsible for military campaigns.

66. Explain the development of the Anasazi and the Hopewell cultures in North America. What aspects were similar and
where did they differ?

Cengage Learning Testing, Powered by Cognero Page 14


Name: Class: Date:

Chapter 8 - Peoples and Civilizations of the Americas, from 1200 B.C.E.

ANSWER: By the end of the classic period in Mesoamerica, around 900c.e., important cultural centers
had appeared in the southwestern desert region and along the Ohio and Mississippi River
Valleys of what is now the United States (see Map 8.4). The peoples of the Southwest
benefited from the early introduction of maize and other Mesoamerican cultigens (before
1000 b.c.e.). The resulting improvement to agricultural productivity led before 500 c.e. to
rising population, the beginnings of urbanization, and increased social stratification. Maize
arrived among the Amerindian peoples of the Ohio Valley sometime after 200 c.e., but only
became the region’s chief staple after 800. Once widely adopted this useful crop accelerated
the development of large population centers and new political institutions. The two regions
evolved different political traditions. The Anasazi and their neighbors in the Southwest
maintained a relatively egalitarian social structure and retained collective forms of political
organization based on kinship and age. The mound builders of the eastern river valleys – like
the Hopewells - evolved more hierarchical political institutions, which subordinated groups
of small towns and villages to a political center ruled by a hereditary chief who wielded both
secular and religious authority.

67. Describe the importance of ayllu and mit'a in the development of the early Andean civilizations.

ANSWER: It was the clan, or ayllu, that provided the foundation for Andean achievement. Members of
an ayllu held land communally. Ayllu members thought of each other as brothers and sisters
and were obligated to aid each other in tasks that required more labor than a single household
could provide. These reciprocal obligations provided the model for the organization of labor
and the distribution of goods at every level of Andean society. Just as individuals and
families were expected to provide labor to kinsmen, ayllus were collectively expected to
provide labor and goods to their rulers. With the development of territorial states ruled by
hereditary aristocracies and kings after 1000b.c.e., these obligations were organized on a
larger scale. The mita was a rotational labor draft that organized members of ayllus to work
the fields and care for the llama and alpaca herds owned by religious establishments, the
royal court, and the aristocracy. Mita laborers built and maintained roads, bridges, temples,
palaces, and large irrigation and drainage projects. They also produced textiles and goods
essential to ritual life, such as beer made from maize and coca (dried leaves chewed as a
stimulant and now also the source of cocaine).
