[] Lead religious ceremonies, military, and wore fancy clothes. The people considered him a god. [Tier 1] king and nobles: The kind was one of the most important people in the empire. His palace contained 3,000 slaves, an aviary (300 slaves helped), and a zoo (300 saves for). His giant responsibilities were too big for him to do alone, so he had tax collectors and nobles to help. [Tier 2] priests and warriors: Warriors were very important for the society. They would fight in wars and would conquer new lands to gain more money, and also find sacrifices to preform ceremonies. Priests would keep the calendar for ceremonies, pass down history and stories, and preform ceremonies (and sacrifices). [Tier 3]Merchants and artisans: merchants and artisans usually became rich as they sold a traded their objects to other people and leaders and priests. [tier 4]Farmers: most citizens were farmers, and lived a rough life. They had to live in mud and stick houses, and had to pay rough taxes that made it hard to survive. Life improved if you joined the military. The upper class would help make the empire run, and had servants and no taxes. The women however, would have the duties on the other women. THERE WERE NO SLAVES IN THE SOCIETY. Most people were farmers and artisans. They were the army, paid taxes, and wore plain clothes, unbelievably, by law. They were self-educated. They however, would not be able to own more then they needed. **Religion** Like the Mayans, the Aztec were polytheistic. They would have sacrifices and bleeding to please their gods. They would sacrifice one’s heart to the rain god. Over 10,000 people were sacrificed each year. They never forced their conquered people to worship their religion. They would preform ceremonies for the sun god, and would try to tie down the sun to stop it from disappearing in winter. They thought that the kings were related to the sun god, so they never died.

 * Higher class:** Priests (who lead/helped in religious ceremonies, and used math and astrology to help with ceremonies), merchants (who directed trade and supply distribution/transportation between cities), and warriors (who pained themselves red and black and wore elaborate clothing during the battles).

 * Maya: **They believed that the gods influenced daily life. There were many gods and goddesses who would impact life, with of the most infamous being the sun god.

Human victims (usually slaves) would have their hearts cut out and offered to the gods. They thought that there was an underworld and a godly place. Everyone had an animal companion, where the kings would have a Jaguar.

1:Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society. 2:There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. 3:Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order. http://www.preceden.com/timelines/44900-untitled-timeline Finished timeline
