Match each pre-colonial Igbo governance institution on the left with its principal socio-political function or constitutional authority on the right.
- Age Grades (Uke / Ebiri)Executing village assembly decisions, performing public works, and maintaining community policing.
- Ozo Title Holders (Ndi Nze)Providing moral leadership, serving as unbiased arbitrators, and offering policy advice based on prestige.
- Secret Cults (Mmanwu / Ekpe)Enforcing tough judicial decisions, executing severe sanctions, and preserving spiritual order behind masks.
- Council of Lineage Heads (Ama-ala)Formulating primary legislative decisions and debating policy through consensus of lineage representatives.
Cevap
Age Grades match with public execution and community policing; Ozo Title Holders match with moral leadership and unbiased arbitration; Secret Cults match with masked enforcement of tough judicial sanctions; Council of Lineage Heads matches with legislative decision-making through consensus.
In pre-colonial Igbo acephalous political administration, power was diffused among functional groups. Age Grades provided executive enforcement and community labor; Ozo Title Holders exercised moral leadership and arbitration; Secret Cults enforced controversial judicial sanctions behind masked anonymity; and the Council of Lineage Heads served as the principal legislative body.
