Explanation:

Much like the other ancient civilizations, the Aztecs had the Emperor as a supreme ruler with a divine origin.

Its authority replicated in every region by a "Tlatoani", ruler representing God on Earth, followed by "Hueatlatoani" his fellow governors.

The Aztec culture was deeply religious, where the privileged class was the Priests, to be followed by the army generals, and officials serving to keep the order.

The political order as under a cosmovision, and the slaves, commoners, and nobles were a system of classes that lasted for centuries without seeking major changes.

The religious practices continued until the arrival of the Europeans and began to contest this views.
