the most developed code of law was developed in the city-state of texcoco under its ruler nezahualcoyotl. it was a formal written code, not merely a collection of customary practices. the sources for knowing about the legal code are colonial-era writings by franciscan toribio de benavente motolinia, franciscan fray juan de torquemada, and texcocan historians juan bautista pomar, and fernando de alva cortés ixtlilxochitl. the law code in texcoco under nezahualcoyotl was legalistic, that is cases were tried by particular types of evidence and the social status of the litigants was disregarded, and consisted of 80 written laws. these laws called for severe, publicly administered punishments, creating a legal framework of social control.
