Answer 1

1. The products that were exported for trade in the Mayan highland cities were a) Jade, obsidian, and quetzal bird feathers.

2. The Mayan government was different from the U.S. government in that a) The wealthiest farmer did not become the ruler. The Mayan political system was a complex hierarchy of rulers, with the king or ruler at the top, followed by regional lords, and then local officials. The Mayan system of government was not a democracy, and the ruler was not a pharaoh, as that term was used in ancient Egypt.
