- The king is the highest class in the Mayan social class. They also have a lot of power and can command people to do what they need to do.
- Merchants and Artisians
- Lets work on creating items to make a easier life
- Alright!
- Who wants to make a fair trade we are trading good items at a good price
- Priests controlled learning and ritual, and were in charge of calculating time, festivals, ceremonies, fateful days and seasons, divination, events, cures for diseases, writing and genealogies.

- Nobles served as rulers, government officials, tribute collectors, military leaders, high priests, local administrators, cacao plantation managers, and trade expedition leaders. Nobles were literate and wealthy, and typically lived in the central areas of Maya cities, and the elite warriors to protect their empire and also to sacrifice their victims for their empire.
- Best Social Class (Opinion)
- Hello there I have the most power and wealth in the city, also I have a lot of responsibilities to do. And I live in a great area
- Mayan artisans make items to make people have a easier life, and the Mayan merchants trade items for the things that they have needed for themselves or for the empire.
- The Mayan commoners are the lowest social class. They have the least power and wealth, also they are like slaves. The commoners have to work for the empire or for other needs.
- In my opinion I think the nobles are the best social class because they have a lot of power and wealth, also they have a lot of responsibilities which makes them better people. They live in Mayan cities which meant they have more of a fancier class. And their powers are rulers, government officials, tribute collectors, military leaders, high priests, local administrators, cacao plantation managers, and trade expedition leader
