Low class is a term used to describe people of lower social standing. PEONS, PEASANTS, and SERFS are all examples of people who would be considered low class. PEONS are laborers who are bound to the land they work on and have few rights. PEASANTS are farmers who own their own land but are still subject to certain restrictions. SERFS are similar to PEASANTS, but they are legally bound to the land they work on and have even fewer rights than PEONS.
