Answer to Question 1

In tribes, leadership is decided through kinship and also the institution of a bigman (a self-made individual); in chiefdoms, kinship plays a role, but the society has a centralized leadership. Thus, chiefly office is usually inherited and sustained by religious authority.

Answer to Question 2

It is a type of mediation found among the Kpelle in which an assembled group of kinsmen and neighbors come before a recognized mediator who hears all arguments and then comes to a consensus to resolve the dispute.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
