Compare and contrast the sociopolitical organization of North American chiefdoms with those of the Maya city-states?

Both the Maya city-states and the North American chiefdoms defined the boundaries for the civilizations at the time. Maya City was one of the largest city-states in the Maya civilization, while Cahokia was a powerful chiefdom from North America. Another similarity between the two civilizations was the power that the rulers had. The paramount chief of a chiefdom and the king or queen of a city-state exercised total control over the citizens. In other words, their decision was final.
The difference between a chiefdom and a city-state was that the latter was a fair amount bigger than the former. Most chiefdoms had between 5,000 to 20,000 people, while city-states had a population of over 20,000. In addition, chiefdoms were protected by warriors, while city-states were defended by armies. Additionally, most chiefdoms were located along the Mississippi River, while city-states were scattered all over the Maya kingdom.
