If they had the chance to develop further, an age of empires would surely follow. Amerindian kings and emperors would have conquered and assimilate the tribal democracies, like Rome did.
As it is, some of that occurred. The Maya, Aztecs and especially the Incas assimilated tribes in their formative stage, but the lack of horses, or an equivalent, made the management of large scale civilizations difficult.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
