Answer:Meroe was not founded on the floodplain agricultural system that the Egyptians used. And because they were not confined to the narrow fields of the Nile valley the people were much more spread out across the area which made it more difficult to administer direct authority. Additionally, the taxation system used in Meroe was not as strict and predetermined like the Egyptians were. And even though both states had a king, the Meroitic king did not have an automatic line of succession and was subject to approval by the nobility and the priesthood, who could dispose of him if they wished.
