Population growth and intensified agriculture led to more complex political systems like chiefdoms and states. As populations increased, leaders took control of production and trade to manage resources and extract surplus. This established social hierarchies and stratified political systems with hereditary elite classes. States further amplified control through compulsory taxes and services, using ideology and public symbols to legitimize power and influence beliefs.
