At the top were the Spanish and mestizo elite, followed by the educated local elite and the middle class, consisting of professionals, merchants, and landowners. The majority of the population were peasants and laborers, while at the bottom were the indigenous peoples who faced discrimination and marginalization. This structure was influenced by Spanish colonial rule and the feudal system in place at the time.
