The Aztecs used local rulers to help them rule politically by allowing them to maintain their local rule, but requiring them to provide tribute. This meant that each local ruler had the freedom to govern their region according to their own customs and traditions, but they were obligated to provide resources or goods to the Aztec empire as a form of payment or tribute. This helped to ensure the loyalty and cooperation of the local rulers while also allowing the Aztecs to exert control and receive benefits from their territories.
