it was entirely possible for a slave
to have slaves of his own. The
owner of a slave's labor could not
sell it to another person without the
consent of the laborer.
The organization of the city was
elaborate. After settling on the is-
lands the Aztecs separated the area
into four quarters. In each of these
was a phratry composed of kindred
peoples or those of common descent.
There were 20 Kin to a phratry.
Each Kin elected and deposed its.
own officers, consisting of a gover-
nor and a group of “Elder Broth- |
ers,” or council.
At the head of each phratry was 1
a war captain. These four captains
served on the great council of the
tribe in company with one repre-
sentative from each Kin, Elder
Brothers, and certain of the temple
priests. There was a smaller coun-
cil, composed of one speaker from
each Kin, which met every 20 days
in a directing and judicial capacity.
