Best Answer

Not in any traditional form, that you would recognize. The Clans were lead by headmen, wise-men, and shamans - made up of respected old ones. Every man had a voice in government (women did not, but women also owned everything), but older or more wise men's voices carried more weight. Harder to understand was the inate rule of law involved, concerning rights. The only modern translation that would come close would be [a] "Representative Socialist Republic."
