Explanation:

But between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries there was a change, due to the cultural and political influence they received from their neighbors and their conquests. This is how an Aztec society developed with a hierarchical and complex character.

At the apex of this society was the emperor or tlatoani, as political and military chief. The tlatoani had its counterpart, called cihuacoatl, a religious chief. Both were elected by a council of elders and tribal chiefs.

Another characteristic feature of Aztec society was its division into castes. The caste of the nobles (pipiltin) was made up of the members of the royal family, the chiefs of the calpulli and the military chiefs. The nobility occupied a place of privilege, far removed from that enjoyed by the Macehualtin, who were the farmers, merchants and artisans encompassed in the calpullis, which were social units formed by a group of families.

Further down the social ladder were the serfs (mayeques), who worked on state lands or the nobility. There were also slaves (tlatlacotin), who were employed as a work force or were reserved for religious sacrifices.
