African Civilizations since 1800: How were rulers able to enforce decisions?

I'm studying for a African History exam and am really struggling with one of the questions, can anyone help?

Define the 3 levels of African political society and explain how each level functioned in a given society. How were rulers in African societies able to enforce their decisions on their peoples, and what restrictions (if any) did they have on their powers? How did African means of control or coercion differ from European means of coercion?

Any help is appreciated!
