To move all of the materials they needed they would use canoes. This seems to work out pretty well because the city was in a grid type layout of cannels. This enabled them for irrigation and fishing and waterfowl. In the center of the city was their main temple and there was two schools and they were located on either side of the temple and directly across fro the temple was the kings palace. .
Political Organization.
The Aztec had a hierarchical society, where the king was considered as a living god. Under the king, the nobles that were ones the held government positions such as warriors of rank and priests and judges and administrative positions. They were of better education and higher family morals as well. The nobles were also exempt from taxes because of their public service to the empire. Although; some commoners could hold these positions only by proving themselves worthy in some way, most likely in battle. Commoners on the other hand had to pay taxes, even though they were able to decide their own means of production. Some examples of means of production are farming, artists, merchants, or paid labor. Slaves were the most inferior class, but even then slaves had rights. There rights included a right to family, property, the recovery of their freedom and the right not to be transferred to another master without their permission.
Economy.
The Aztec was a very militaristic people always trying to expand their territory. Through expansion was their main source of income. Conquered people had to pay tribute to them perioadiclly. Tributes ranged from maize, chilies and caco beans to clothing and warrior attire, polished jadeite beads and shimmering tropical feathers.
