The Aztec and Inca civilizations were similar in their political interactions because they both kept local rulers in charge of their regions. However, the Aztecs and Incas demanded tribute from these local rulers as a way to maintain control over their empire. Tribute could come in the form of goods, labor, or even human sacrifices. This allowed the central authority of both civilizations to exert their influence over a vast territory while still allowing some level of local autonomy.
