Merchants and Craftsmen

Some were peasants who wanted a better life and
some were nobles that wanted a job. They made art

or ran businesses.

Peasants

Most Mayan people were peasants. They worked very hard. Most were
farmers and lived outside the city. Peasants who worked as craftsmen
were able to live in the city and had a slightly better life. If there were

no captured warriors or slaves available, peasants were usually the
ones sacrificed to the gods.

Slaves

These people were the lowest class. Many times they were treated better than the peasants, but
they had no rights. They could be children whose parents had died, people who were captured
in war, or people who committed crimes. Slaves were usually the ones chosen for sacrifice to

the gods.

This month we learned about the Aztecs and all of the important traits about them like
religion ,government ,and social structure they lived in Tenochtitlan which is in the middle of
Mexico this helped for war because they were surrounded mostly by water and for something to
drink. first The Aztec government was unlike other systems of government at the time. In fact, it
was more of a system of tribute in which conquered cities which paid respect to the Aztec
empire. The most likely reason for this phenomenon was because the Aztec rulers had better
forms of communication and roads built in the areas they conquered, similar to those found in
Tenochtitlan. just Like the Mayans, the Aztec developed a form of religion they worshiped many
gods like A corn god A rain god And a god of fertility Also they did human sacrifice to appease
the gods lastly they believed in being independent and had a really well-ordered way in their
society. Even in the most advanced of modern well-developed countries, free education for
everyone is still a pipe dream, so in a few ways the Aztecs were really forward thinking. They
also had the idea of free education. So did the Aztecs amaze you too?.

Government: The Incas ruled their empire with a centralized

government and four provincial governments. The Inca was the head of the
Inca empire. At the top of the Inca government, we found the Apu; he was
the leader and principal authority of one quarter of the kingdom. The Inca
Empire had four parts, so they were four Apus; each Apu has three sub
Apus helping him with the administration.

Laws:There were two main taxes that the people had to pay. The first tax was a

portion of the ayllu crops. The crops were divided up three ways with the first third
going to the government, the second third to the priests, and the final third was for the
people.
