Maya social classes
The Maya social classes is a system of social organization. It is divided in ''ahau'' (king), nobles, priests, merchants and artisans, and peasants and slaves.〔Morley (1947 pp.174–176).〕 polity, there was ''halach uinic'', also called the ''ahau''. It is commonly accepted that the appearance of kings in Maya lowland civilizations occurred during the time period change from the Pre Classic to the modern times. This time period would make the first kings to be dated ca. 100. These kings were recorded on carved stelae. However, it was discovered in the Maya civilization of Nakbe that the first appearance of kings on stele occurred during the Middle Preclassic. Additionally, in the civilizations of Kaminaljuyu, El Baúl and Takalik Abaj, located in the southern highlands, people and inscriptions of historical events were first made during CE 37, one of the most earliest dates.
The ''ahau'' had many different types of duties. It is supposed that the ruler made policies used in the state that were applied to both the state and foreign relations, while being assisted by a state council, consisting of "leading chiefs, priests, and special councilors".〔Morley (1947 pp.161 –162).〕 By having ceremonies that were both in public view and in private, the kings would participate in acts of dancing, giving of his own blood for a sacrifice, having “enemas and trances”, the king would be able to show that he was also the “mediator between the supernatural and the real worlds.”〔McKillop (2006 pp.177–178).〕 In addition to these duties, during the New Empire the ruler determined who to appoint in the position of chief, also called a ''batab'', for towns. Through examinations of the candidates at the beginning of the new ''k'atun'', the ''ajaw'' was able to get rid of any person who was considered to be a pretender or who applied falsely. Both the ''batabob'' and the ''ajaw'' were usually positions of patrilineal inheritance and genealogy.〔 Lady Sak Kʻukʻ took the position of ruler in Palenque because at that time her son was not old enough.〔McKillop (2006 pp.178 –179)〕

Under the ''ahau'' in the social classes was the nobility. This class, also known as ''almehenob'' consisted of the positions of the local magistrates and executives, town counselors, deputies ''ah holpopob'' (who assisted local lords in governmental affairs) and the ''tupiles'' (policemen).〔Morley (1947 pp.168–170).〕
