The statement that best describes the political structure of the ancient Aztecs is " the Aztec civilization was ruled by an emperor and had about four hundred tribute states."
The Aztec civilization was one of the most important and prominent cultures in Mesoamerica, before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors. The capital city of the Empire was the great city of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City), located in the center of the Texcoco Lake. The Aztecs were fierce warriors that conquered many territories and forced these people to pay tribute. That was the case of the Tlaxcanteans or Chollulans.
The other options of the question were A) the Aztecas developed city-states that were powerful but independent. B) the Aztec civilization included different groups unified under a single religion. D) the Aztecs were ruled by representatives of different city-states.
