NZ Government compare and contrast paragraph

In the power to people Hurumanu, we learnt about the Maori authority system and the British settler Government system.This compare and contrast paragraph is about those two systems. People were responsible for their whanau. Tapu was important for protecting people, objects and land. Whereas law was organised to control society and to stop people from breaking the rules of society. They were set punishments for breaking the law. This matters because it is important to know how NZ was before the treaty and how different the Maoris were from the Europeans.
