#1 Peninsulares were Spanish officials who ruled Mexico. They are among the richest, and they are also the top ranked social class of Mexico.

#2 Criollos were people of pure Spanish descent who were born in the Americas. They are the second ranked social class of Mexico. Although they were usually limited to the lower echelon of their professions with little political power, many acquired great wealth and economic influence. It was this class, in response to increasing taxes and regulations by the Crown, that initiated the 11 years of rebellion to claim independence for Mexico in 1821. After the expulsion of the Spanish, criollosbecame the ruling class of Mexico.

#3 Mestizos were people of mixed Indian and European descent and are the third ranked social class of Mexico in New Spain's social hierarchy and possessed little economic or political influence. Most Mexicans today are descended from this class whose mixed ancestry is indelibly linked to Mexico's national identity.

#4 Indians people with pure Native American blood.
