The Aztecs used local rulers to help them rule politically by allowing these rulers to maintain their local rule, but in return, the rulers had to provide tribute to the Aztecs. This tribute could come in the form of goods, resources, or even young men and women who were offered as sacrifices to the sun god. Additionally, the local rulers would divide their people into ayllus, which were kinship-based social units, to help with governing and maintaining order within their territories. This system allowed the Aztecs to maintain control and collect tribute from various regions while still respecting the authority and autonomy of the local rulers.
