Did people have a role in the Inca government?

Yes, people had a role in the Inca government, but it was largely hierarchical and centralized. The Inca Empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, who held absolute power, while local administrators, known as curacas, managed communities and reported to higher authorities. The government relied on a system of labor and tribute from the populace, with common people contributing to state projects and agriculture. However, individual political participation was limited, as the elite class primarily controlled decision-making processes.
