 * __Report from Spain__**

There are many social classes. Here they are from highest to lowest:

1) **Emperor** - The emperor was considered having both human and supernatural abilities, but the emperor has to get the approval of the council of nobles. 2) **Nobles** - Most nobles had their own private land or government land for use during the emperor's term. 3) **Commoners -** They made up a majority of the population. 4) **Serfs -** They had worked on the land that belonged to the nobles. 5) **Slaves -** Slaves were considered property, but their children were born free. Slaves could be captured in war, purchased from other groups/towns, criminal people and those who wouldn't pay their debts.

The emperor was called the //huey tlatoani// (great speaker). A council of high-ranking nobles chose him from the members of the royal family.

The city of Tenochtitlan was a great city with trained engineers, builders and traders.

The Aztecs had also done many things for fun. They played ball games; there were two versions of these games. In one game, the goal was to get a hard rubber ball over the middle line and you would get points for that but the way to win was to get you ball through one of the two hoops while the other team tried to stop you. In the other game. This game was called tlachtli. The other game was called patolli and that game was played with pebbles and dried beans.
