Their hierarchy was divided into three main sections: the Emperor (41), the nobles (42), and the common people (43). empire was the person at the top of the Aztec hierarchy and was given the title "Huey Tlatoani", meaning "Great Speaker". The role of emperor was not hereditary, that is, he was not born into it only thanks to his family, and with enough effort, anyone could become emperor. He was chosen by the nobility, often for his qualities (such as being a good strategist, etc.). Once chosen, he became the most powerful person in the empire. Although his subjects knew he was mortal, he was considered closest to the gods (without actually being one), so they treated him as such. Therefore, his orders were never questioned. He lived in a gigantic palace(44), and was granted all possible luxuries and privileges. When he had to cross the city, he was carried by servants onto a screened platform, covered with ocelot skins(45). Even the streets were cleared from him(46). However, the emperor also had important roles in Aztec society. He was responsible for being the head priest, the commander in chief of the Aztec army, and the head of state. As head priest, the emperor had to participate in religious ceremonies.

MarketThe market was a place where the Aztec people traded goods. It took place in the Tlatelolco market neighborhood (which was in Tenochtitlan). it could hold up to 60,000 people at a time, and on average 25,000 people went there in one day. Some of the things traded included slaves (16), red dye (19), cotton cloaks (20), and canoes (18). The Aztecs often used cocoa beans (17) as currency when trading. The people who traded at the market were usually merchants, farmers and artisans, all looking for goods and money. There were also different sections of the market for the different goods sold.
