Such an attribute as __________ distinguishes states from chiefdoms.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distinct social stratification is a defining attribute that distinguishes states from chiefdoms. While chiefdoms have a degree of social stratification, it is not as pronounced as in states where there is a clear distinction between different classes and/or castes based on factors such as wealth, occupation, and birth. Other attributes such as large residences, a paramount ruler, subsistence economy, and armed conflicts between communities may be present in both states and chiefdoms.
