The majority of Aztec belong to a social class

known as commoners or macehualtin. These commoners were the largest social group in Aztec society and included farmers, artisans, and laborers. They made up the majority of the population and played a vital role in the economy and society of the Aztec Empire. Commoners had limited social mobility and were subject to the rule of the noble and priestly classes. Despite their lower social status, commoners were essential to the functioning of Aztec society and often held important roles in the government and military.
