Politics native people had in Ancient Mexico.
What was the native political system of Ancient Mexico?
For millenia, the people of Ancient Mexico and Central America had a political system that preserved stablity amongst their people. But how can this system be understood, especially in our times were democracy and tribalism has been imposed by the left and the right?
With the Pelaxila Dilemma, we can understand the indigenous system -- the conundrum Queen Pelaxila had to face will make us understand the way political leaders acted in those times.
Queen Pelaxila, born as Coyolicatzin of Mexico Tenochtitlan, was a ruler of the Zapotec people. Although Mexica Aztec by birth, she married King Cocijoeza of Zaachila, becoming a leader for the people of Oaxaca.
Queen Pelaxila stumbled upon a political -- and ethical -- situation, which many politicians have experienced and many will continue to do so.
But how did Queen Pelaxila managed the political problem she was? Who should political leaders answer to?
In today’s world of democracy how can Queen Pelaxila dilemma be applied to modern-day politicians?
