[Avodah] Home Rule

[Rich, Joel]

We know that a system of batei dinim and shotrim were to be set up in
Eretz Yisrael.  We also know that the melech had broad extrajudicial
powers to promote the common welfare.  Do we know what type, if any,
local structure enforced the latter (e.g. did the shotrim enforce the
melech's decrees, were there local mayors who interpreted the kings
guidance for the social good...?)
